<s>[INST] Is asthma a psychological (psychosomatic) disease? [/INST] No, asthma is not a psychological condition, it is a long-term (chronic) inflammatory disease that leads to extra-sensitive and easily irritated airways, especially when it is not properly treated. Although asthma is not a psychological condition, emotional stress can trigger the symptoms. For example, financial problems, not enjoying your work or worrying about your family can all help to trigger asthma symptoms. Source: Ginasthma. Link: https://ginasthma.org/about-us/faqs/.
