Sažetak
It has been documented that anxiety and depression are prevalent in patients with asthma and are associated with poor asthma control, greater frequency of exacerbations and increased use of healthcare resources. There are no clear views whether persons with asthma are more depressed than those without asthma; whether depression has an “additive” adverse effect on the normal asthma-related decline of quality of life; whether subjective asthma symptoms are more strongly associated with depression than objective measures; are there any symptoms of depression that are more commonly associated with asthma; can sadness and depression produce respiratory effects consistent with asthma exacerbations; the extent to which depression has an adverse effect on the treatment of asthma; whether corticosteroid use in asthma is associated with depression and how; what are the physical, psychological and social consequences of depression in asthma and how to treat such patients. There is a need for further research in order to develop evidence-based standardized algorithms to guide clinical practice.
