- Presence of depression in patients with asthma and its influence on their families Juan Carlos Fernández Rodríguez Fernando Miralles Muñoz Psicología Asthma family emotion depression In this article we examine and review investigations that study the possi- ble presence of depression among patients suffering from bronchial asthma. Throughout the article we provide possible explanations about the relationship between bronchial asthma and depression found in psychological literature along with their possible repercussions in the evolution, morbidity control, and treatment of the illness. Likewise, studies that have investigated depression in families of teenagers and children with bronchial asthma are reviewed. In order to do that, the investigations have been extracted from some of the most widely used databases in Psychology concerning this topic (Web of Knowledge, EBSCO, Psycodoc, Cindoc, Psycarticles and Google Scholar). Finally we offer some reflections about the data analyzed, in the sense that there is enough empirical evidence to confirm that the rates of depression among asthmatic patients and their families are significantly larger than among their asthma-free peers. 2015 artículo científico 0066-5126 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=97044008008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=970 Anuario de Psicología application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Anuario de Psicología (España) Num.3 Vol.45
