Anxiety and depression in adolescents with asthma and in their parents. Is an increased basal cholinergic tone a possible further reason to explain the negative impact on asthma control?

Anxiety and depression in adolescents with asthma and in their parents. Is an increased basal cholinergic tone a possible further reason to explain the negative impact on asthma control? Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2020 Apr 08;90(1): Authors: Liccardi G, Calzetta L, Milanese M, Bilò MB, Liccardi MV, Matera MG, Rogliani P Abstract To the Editor We read with interest the excellent article of Licari et al.  reporting that anxiety and depression are common in adolescents suffering from asthma as well as in their parents, mainly in mothers. The consequence of this relationship is that emotional disorders might negatively affect also the control of asthma. PMID: 32268718 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
