Objective: Chronic urticaria (CU), a common disease characterized by itching wheals, leads to a negative effect of on quality of life (QoL). It may cause anxiety and depression or result in exacerbation of these. We aimed to i) evaluate depression, anxiety levels and QoL in patients with CU and compare these with those of controls, ii) show whether there is any correlation between disease activity and QoL, anxiety, and depression.
