As someone who is bipolar, it’s very easy to see how the mind and body are connected. Getting my high blood pressure treated significantly helped my anxiety, because it got rid of the constant pressure in my chest that felt like anxiety. Separating anxiety and asthma symptoms is difficult. They feel very similar and trigger each other. Unfortunately, this is far from new information. It is decades old and this study currently offers no greater insight into what is already a well-known effect. This is already incorporated into a treatment of mental illness. Not as widely as it should be, but it is there. Nevertheless, this study gives me hope for the future, because someone is looking in what I believe the right direction. It’s the one more step in a long series of steps into figuring why this is the case.
