From the Paper:

"In terms of appropriate psychological interventions for asthma sufferers, it is important for healthcare workers, including nurses, to realize that people with asthma may be more likely than other individuals to have psychological problems such as anxiety disorder and depression. This comes from the anxiety of having to live with unpredictable asthma attacks, and in many cases the depression that comes with having an illness that is uncertain in terms of definition and causal motivation."
