Abstract

Bronchial asthma, a chronic condition marked by persistent inflammation and bronchial obstruction, affects over 334 million people globally. Although extensive research has been conducted on its biological and environmental causes, the impact of psychiatric disorders such as stress and anxiety on asthma is less understood, despite their significant association with the condition. Stress can exacerbate asthma by weakening the body's response to medications and is associated with a higher prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders among asthmatics. A bidirectional relationship exists between asthma and psychiatric disorders, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The interplay between asthma and psychological states involves psychophysiological mediation, medication noncompliance, exposure to triggers, and symptom misperception. Non-pharmacological interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation therapy, breathing exercises, and yoga, show promise in reducing the asthma burden. Combined efforts between mental health specialists and allergists can improve symptom control, quality of life, and overall functioning in asthma patients, thereby decreasing morbidity and mortality.

心理因素与支气管哮喘的相互作用综述。
支气管哮喘是一种以持续炎症和支气管阻塞为特征的慢性疾病,影响着全球超过3.34亿人。尽管对其生物学和环境原因进行了广泛的研究,但压力和焦虑等精神疾病对哮喘的影响尚不清楚,尽管它们与哮喘有显著的关联。压力会削弱身体对药物的反应,从而加剧哮喘,并与哮喘患者中更高比例的焦虑和抑郁障碍有关。哮喘与精神疾病之间存在双向关系,受遗传和环境因素的影响。哮喘与心理状态之间的相互作用包括心理生理调节、药物不依从性、暴露于触发因素和症状误解。非药物干预,包括认知行为疗法、放松疗法、呼吸练习和瑜伽,显示出减轻哮喘负担的希望。精神健康专家和过敏症专家的共同努力可以改善哮喘患者的症状控制、生活质量和整体功能,从而降低发病率和死亡率。
