Depression and Anxiety, Linked to Allergies
Filed in archive Asthma , Hay Fever , Skin Allergies by ruth on October 24, 2007
According to a study published in last month's issue of Journal Clinical Psychiatry, children and adolescents with depression, anxiety and other so-called "internalizing" disorders are more likely to have allergies.

Depression and Anxiety, Linked to Allergies

Among a sample of 184 young people being evaluated for psychiatric disorders and allergies, 105 (57 percent) had a history of allergic disorders, including asthma, hay fever, hives and eczema.

These findings highlight the association between anxiety, depressive, and allergic disorders. I wouldn't be surprised if this relationship can be extended to adults as well, considering that our immune health do take a dip when we are depressed or under stress, doesn't it? At least, I know I feel more sickly when I'm stressed. What is needed is to pinpoint exactly why these conditions are related and what treatment strategies can target both conditions.
