While Psoriasis is usually not severe nor is it life threatening on most cases, however, it can be for ones that have a severe case of Psoriasis. People who have severe cases of Psoriasis have around a 50% chance of death. Over 7 million people in the United States have actually died because of Psoriasis. Around 80% of the ones that have died have had moderate cases and 15% have been severe.
