Vitiligo is more than a skin condition—it affects identity, confidence, and emotional well-being. The stress and anxiety linked to vitiligo can disrupt sleep, creating a cycle of restlessness and fatigue.

But what if breaking that vicious cycle could improve both mental health and skin healing?
In this episode of Deep Dive in Vitiligo, we explore how stress, inflammation, and mental health challenges contribute to poor sleep in people with vitiligo.
