The Asthma-Suicide Connection Crystal River FL
If you suffer from asthma, you know that coping with the condition can be extremely challenging. But can you imagine ending your life as a result of having this condition? While this may sound very extreme, some of the latest research has found that there is a real link between asthma symptoms and suicidal tendencies. The study findings suggest that the connection may not specifically be because people suffer from the asthma symptoms themselves, but nonetheless, that asthma-suicide risk does seem to be linked in some significant way.

When Asthma-Suicide Tendencies Co-Exist
This isn't the first time the medical community has questioned the asthma-suicide connection and suggested there can be a relationship between respiratory function and mental health. In fact, it has long been recognized that asthma sufferers can be prone to depression, in part perhaps because of the isolation their uncontrolled symptoms can create. But specifically how this relates to suicidal thoughts and tendencies is still under exploration.

The findings from this effort have confirmed that having asthma does seem to increase a person's likelihood of idealizing suicide and even of making a suicide attempt.
Depression isn't a Major Factor in Asthma-Suicide
