A nurse committed suicide because she could not live with having psoriasis. <\/p>\n
Hollie McEwen, 28, committed suicide by hanging in her home. Her family believes it was her chronic psoriasis that led to her suicide. <\/p>\n
Her condition played a large part in what she decided to do, said Hollies father, Andrew. She was a beautiful, vibrant young woman who felt she couldn't deal with the condition. She felt this was the only way out. <\/p>\n
Hollie was first diagnosed with psoriasis, a skin disease characterized by red, scaly patches, papules, and plaques that usually cause itching, when she was 12 months old. At that point, however, treatment kept it controlled. <\/p>\n
It later reappeared due to stress and caused Hollie to suffer from depression, reports The Daily Mail. She killed herself just two days after seeking treatment for depression. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Her skin condition played a large part in her problems as a teenager and when older I feel this was at the root of all the problems, said her mother Wendy. <\/p>\n
Hollie had undergone treatment for psoriasis over the past two years, including hospital stays and steroids after suffering from anxiety attacks. <\/p>\n
Letters Hollie wrote to her loved ones were found in her home. <\/p>\n
