Patients with dysplastic nevus syndrome form a group with increased psychological risk, characterized by a reduced subjective assessment of their own abilities, level of aspirations, emotional stability, and performance, increased levels of anxiety, vulnerability, depression, and conformity. The presence of dysplastic-dependent cosmetic changes, combined with asthenia, forms the psychological characteristics of these patients: reduced mood, loss of the feeling of pleasure and interest in activities, emotional lability, pessimistic assessment of the future, often with ideas of self-flagellation and suicidal thoughts. A logical consequence of psychological distress is a limitation of social activity, a deterioration in the quality of life, and a significant reduction in social adaptation, which is most relevant in adolescence and young adulthood.[3]

Disruption of the mental sphere: also, disruptions in adaptation, possible autism.
