Through community, coaching, and evidence-based digital therapies, we help patients and partners achieve superior health and commercial outcomes.

[Twill Care](https://www.happifyhealth.com/care) for Psoriasis was designed to help people with psoriasis learn about their illness, share their experiences, support each other, and connect with medical experts in an equitable, stigma-free environment. And our [digital therapeutics](https://www.happifyhealth.com/newsroom/happify-health-research-shows-impact-of-digital-interventions-to-improve-anxiety-symptoms-amp-well-being-in-psoriasis-patients) have been proven to help reduce anxiety symptoms and increase subjective well-being in psoriasis patients.

This video sheds light on connection between psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and mental health. Hear from one of the National Psoriasis Foundation's psychiatrists [Dr. Evan Rieder](https://nyulangone.org/doctors/1376718809/evan-a-rieder)as he addresses the biological mechanisms associated with the increased risk of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other issues that impact both mental and physical health.
