Asthma and mental disorders in Canada: Impact on functional impairment and mental health service use
Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 10/13/09

Goodwin RD et al. – The findings provide new information suggesting that adults in the community with asthma and mental disorders have higher levels of both short– and long–term health–condition–related functional disability and greater use of mental health services, compared with those with asthma without mental disorders. Results are also consistent with previous studies showing a significant link between asthma and mental disorders. Implications of these findings for efforts aimed at secondary prevention and improving treatment strategies for individuals with both asthma and mental disorders are discussed.
