OBJECTIVES: (1) To determine the strength of association between persistent asthma and development of depressive symptoms during childhood, (2) To determine the strength of association between persistent depressive symptoms and development of asthma during childhood. CONCLUSIONS: Children with persistent asthma and children with chronic illness have increased odds of developing new signs of depression over a 2-year period.

More research on the biologic interaction between childhood affective disorder and allergic illness is warranted. |
