Our study showed that patients with COPD, asthma, and ACO generally suffered from an increased level of fatigue and depression. Anxiety was high in all groups, but it was at a similar level for patients suffering from each of the three diseases under consideration. It is important to treat the physical symptoms as well as the psychological disorders since they greatly impact on the patient outcomes.
