title: Emotional factors in bronchial asthma.
abstract: Controlled study on 30 patients of bronchial asthma was conducted at General Medicine Dept. of Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. It has been observed that parental loss or deprivation in childhood per se is a significantly important factor in asthmatics. Asthmatics are found to be reserved, detached, affected by feelings, emotionally less stable, mild, accommodating, shy, timid, tender-minded, dependent, tense and frustrated in comparison to the control cases.
