“…A psychological investigation of men with allergic rhinitis showed that they received significantly higher scores in depression, paranoia, and social isolation (introversion). In women, the scores in depression, hypochondriasis, and hysteria were significantly higher (Rodinkova et al, 2019). Based on the results of other studies, statistically significant differences are found between the scores of the allergic groups compared to the healthy ones in somatization, obsession, aggression, psychosis (Xi et al, 2012), anxiety, depression (Xiaofei et al, 2015), and neurosis (Uçal et al, 2017).…”

“…Other relevant studies showed that mental disorders, especially anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders, occur more in patients with allergic rhinitis compared to the ordinary population (Kim et al, 2017;Muñoz-Cano et al, 2018). Accordingly, in recent years, allergic rhinitis has been known as a psychosomatic disease in which the immune system and the nervous system are involved and regulate each other (Rodinkova et al, 2019;Tas & Caglar, 2019). The immune system can cause symptoms because of inappropriate and of-ten harmful responses to substances that are naturally harmless.…”

Objective: Allergic rhinitis, as a global health problem, accounts for several psychological disorders, including fatigue, mood changes, depression, anxiety, and disrupted Quality of Life. How people cope with the symptoms of this disease is essential. The present research is pioneering in comparing the QoL, psychological state, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies of patients with allergic rhinitis and healthy individuals. Methods: Aligned with the purpose of the study, 132 patients and 132 healthy subjects were assigned to two groups. Both groups responded to the QoL symptom checklist (SCL90) and a short form of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). One-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was run to make between-group comparisons. Results: The findings revealed that allergic patients had a lower QoL. Similarly, the two groups showed statistically significant differences in physical health, environmental life, and overall QoL. Clinical symptoms prevailed more in the allergic group compared to the healthy. Also, these two groups differed significantly regarding somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, and anxiety sub-scales. The healthy group used more adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (for instance, acceptance and positive reevaluation) than the allergic group. In addition, statistically significant divergences were found in the catastrophizing strategy, which prevailed more in the allergic group. Conclusion: Given the present findings, patients with allergic rhinitis have lower psychological health and QoL compared to the healthy population. These unfavorable conditions can result from inefficient use of cognitive emotion regulation strategies that mutually link allergic and clinical symptoms to the patients’ QoL.
