Co-authored by a patient organization advocate, a pulmonologist, and a nurse practitioner, this article synthesizes insights gained through collaborative discussions and a comprehensive literature review. It highlights the critical importance of early diagnosis of COPD, emphasizing that delayed diagnosis can lead to significant underdiagnosis and mismanagement of the disease. Lung function declines more rapidly in the early stages of COPD. Therefore, delayed or underdiagnosed COPD results in a lost opportunity to improve or maintain lung function, prevent exacerbations, and enhance the quality of life. The typical patient journey is also outlined in this article, underscoring the necessity of encouraging patients to actively engage in their care. Patients and HCPs collectively call for improvements in COPD management, emphasizing the importance of maintenance therapy; a deeper understanding of COPD exacerbations, focusing on their prevention; and fostering a partnership between patients and their HCPs in care management. The role of HCPs is crucial in promoting the self-management and awareness of COPD among patients. By integrating patient perspectives into clinical practice, healthcare systems can better address the complex needs of patients with COPD and ultimately enhance their health outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51340,"journal":{"name":"Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases-Journal of the Copd Foundation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144287094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The link between COPD and schizophrenia may be partially explained by higher rates of smoking, but may also be syndemic, with shared genetic, socioeconomic and environmental risk factors and common pathophysiological mechanisms.
