Many Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners believe that thoughts and emotions affect health.
Previous complementary medicine research studies have shown that children with asthma are at a higher risk of depression. Furthermore, if a parent/caregiver suffers from depression then the symptoms of asthma in their children worsen.
Therefore, an integrative healthcare solution should consider these extra issues when treating children whose symptoms are not improving with standard treatment protocols.
If there are no improvements in a child’s asthmatic problem, then a healthcare professional should consider extending pharmaceutical treatment, lifestyle advice and food and nutrition advice to parents and caregivers that suffer from depression.
