About this Research Topic
Mental health issues are common among patients living with asthma and allergic conditions. A long history of research links asthma and allergy to mood and anxiety disorders. These links include shared biological pathways as well as social and emotional factors that interact with disease progression and self-management by patients and caregivers. Managing depression and anxiety can greatly improve people’s wellbeing and quality of life as well as their asthma and their attitude towards it.
This Research Topic involves a call for studies that offer new and deeper understandings of the relationship between asthma and mental health. It encompasses papers reporting novel insights and links between asthma, allergy and mental health and how mental health and emotion can be managed to enhance self-management and support well-being and quality of life for adults and children living with asthma.
We welcome all article types accepted by Frontiers in Allergy covering, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Personalized medicine and its role in management of mood and anxiety disorders in asthma and allergy
- Novel insights to social determinants of mental health and wellbeing in asthma and allergy
- Longitudinal studies of asthma, allergy and mental health
- Studies of patient experiences of asthma, allergy and mental health
- The impact of asthma and allergy on mental health and well-being of patients’ families/caregivers
