Abstract	:	Asthma is a severe disease for both children and adults. Corticosteroid (anti-inflammatory) medications are the most potent and effective treatment of asthma currently available. However, biological and epidemiologic studies have shown an increased risk of psychological stress from exposure to oral corticosteroid medications. Inhaled corticosteroids are more local-acting and thus may not have the same clinically significant systemic effects. But to date, the potential links of inhaled corticosteroids with psychological stress is unknown. This study aimed to address this knowledge gap.
