Study explores link between stress and asthma

Respiratory Care Weekly, March 22, 2006

Findings from a 2005 study indicate that when people see asthma triggers or show signs of stress, anger, and depression it can trigger asthma symptoms, according to the Wall Street Journal. Researchers from the University of Arizona hope to establish how emotions contribute to asthma attacks, they said in a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychosomatic Society in March.

"With the explosion in neuroscience, (we can now see) . . . how the mind is related to the body," Thomas Kamarck of the University of Pittsburgh told the Wall Street Journal.
