The purpose of this study is to determine the role of inflammation in the high prevalence of psychiatric disorders in skin-restricted lupus (SRL) patients. SRL is an inflammatory disease. Inflammation can lead to a decrease in the synthesis of neurotransmitters via the activation of the IDO enzyme and to induce the synthesis of neurotoxic molecules (kynurenin pathway). This leads to the development of psychiatric disorders. Investigator therefore want to compare inflammation and neurotransmitter synthesis in SRL patients according to the presence or absence of psychiatric disorders. Investigator expect a decrease in neurotransmitter synthesis and activation of the kynurenin pathway in patients with a psychiatric disorder.

Difference in IDO activation and neurotransmitters synthesis inhibition between SRL patients with and without psychiatric disorders.
comparison of plasma: * kynurenine / tryptophan and 3-hydroxykynurenine / kynurenine ratios for IDO activation * serotonin / tryptophan) et tyrosine / phenylalanine ratios for neurotransmitters synthesis inhibition between SRL patients with and without psychiatric disorders.
Time frame: Blood samples at day 1 and plasma analyses at the end of the study (when all patients will be included, up to 15 months)
Difference in kynurenine pathway activation between SRL patients with and without psychiatric disorders.
comparison of plasma kynurenic acid / kynurenine and quinolinic acid / kynurenine ratios between SRL patients with and without psychiatric disorders.
Time frame: Blood samples at day 1 and plasma analyses at the end of the study (when all patients will be included, up to 15 months)
Difference in cytokine concentration between SRL patients with and without psychiatric disorders
comparison of plasma TNFα, IFNα, IFNγ, IL1, IL1ᵦ, IL2, IL6, IL4, IL8, IL10, IL17, IL18 and CRP between SRL patients with and without psychiatric disorders.
Time frame: Blood samples at day 1 and plasma analyses at the end of the study (when all patients will be included, up to 15 months)
