Abstract
In difficult asthmatics, there is a high prevalence of undiagnosed psychiatric morbidity, with depression being particularly prevalent. A simple screening questionnaire such as HADS, has a high false positive rate when compared to psychiatric interview, but may be useful in excluding depressive illness. There appears to be little association between identification and management of co-existent psychiatry morbidity and asthma outcome.
