Researchers at University of Western Australia and Columbia University have found that children who are suffering from a severe or persistent form of asthma may be prone to developing mental health problems such as anxiety and depression.
In the report, published in the journal Psychological Medicine, the researchers said that they used data from the Raine Study in order to find whether children who suffer from asthma had a risk of developing mental problems through to the age of 17 years.
