Hyperhidrosis: More than what has been met by the eye

Research conducted by Brickell Biotech, Burke Healthcare, and the International Hyperhidrosis Society shows that our understanding of the socially debilitating side of Hyperhidrosis has been underestimated

In a study of over 8,000 respondees, 75% of people mentioned that excessive sweating from Hyperhidrosis has had a negative impact on their life. Only 49% of this number have consulted with a medical practitioner regarding the issue.

"Researchers found that excessive sweating causes major limitations in work and social relationships, physical and leisure activities, and impairments in emotional and mental health" (Sweathelp).
