    Abstract Emotional disorders, namely anxiety and depression, frequently affect adolescents with asthma. In addition, their parents also may present emotional problems. The objective of this study was to investigate anxiety and depression in asthmatic adolescents and in their parents in a real-life setting. A series of adolescents with allergic asthma were consecutively enrolled. Asthma was diagnosed according to the GINA document and consistently the symptom control grade was assessed. We used the HADS questionnaire for the adolescents, and HADS, STAY, and BDI questionnaires for their parents. Globally, 121 adolescents (71 males, 50 females, mean age 13.4±0.8 years, age ranging between 12 and 15 years) with allergic asthma and their parents were evaluated. Only 29% of adolescents had controlled asthma. Adolescents with controlled asthma had lower HADS-A and HADS-D scores than other patients, whereas there was no difference among parents. Severe maternal anxiety was more frequent in poorly controlled subjects than in partially controlled ones; absence of maternal anxiety was more common in controlled subjects. The preliminary results of the current study suggest that anxiety and depression are common in adolescents suffering from asthma as well as in their parents, mainly in mothers. Emotional disorders might affect also the asthma control. Thus, in clinical practice, the psychological assessment could be included in the asthma work-up.

    Abstract Abstract Background COVID-19 is an emerging issue that has significant consequences on psycho-social well-being. Methods In this regard, a survey was conducted on a large group of adolescents in Italy. The survey investigated four items: concerns and fears, information on the pandemic, provisions of public authorities (e.g., lockdown), and impact on everyday life. Results Adolescents actively participated in the survey. COVID-19 affected emotions and lifestyle. COVID-19 influenced relationships with peers and parents. There were regional differences. Conclusions The current research highlighted the remarkable, healthy, and certainly unexpected, emotional balance of the new generations in the face of a sudden, unpredictable phenomenon capable of jeopardizing life itself. While understanding the gravity of the phenomenon and willingly adapting to all the necessary precautions, the adolescents still seemed to express an excellent ability to manage situations of insecurity and to deal with unfavorable and adverse conditions by adapting to the new routine and finding alternative and innovative means of meeting their social and psychological needs.
