Asthma Is Associated With a Number of Mental Disorders
Reuters Health story at Medscape - "Results of a study published in the November issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry suggest an association between asthma and a range of mental disorders. Dr. Renee D. Goodwin, of Columbia University, New York, and colleagues studied a sample of adults in Germany. They based diagnoses of current (past 4 weeks) and lifetime asthma on physician diagnosis, and used the Composite International Diagnostic Interview to assess current and lifetime mental disorders."
