Descrição: Introduction: Bromhidrosis or osmidrosis is a problem that leads many patients to seek specialized medical treatment. This work aims to show that the bromhidrosis disease is also related to the emotional one, which can trigger serious psychological disorders. Methods: Patients of both genders, predominantly aged between 22 and 42 years, were submitted to consultations and psychological assessments in the preoperative period and psychological follow-up in the postoperative period. Results: Of the 34 patients evaluated who had a diagnosis of bromhidrosis, 23 had symptoms of severe depression. Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with bromhidrosis are emotionally vulnerable, depressed and anxious. Without proper treatment, it can lead to serious personality disorders.
