“…Psychosocial factors are known to affect disease outcomes and should also be assessed within the multi-disciplinary team (67). Children with asthma are known to suffer with increased emotional and behavioral problems and emotional difficulties for parents and caregivers may affect their ability to care for their child.…”

“…In addition to the organic aspects of the disease, emotional problems also cause functional alterations in the body and favor the appearance or maintenance of the disease in children. Accordingly, it is highly necessary to also consider the psychosocial aspects involved in chronic illness and in the quality of life of children and caregivers (Booster, Oland, & Bender, 2016;Cordeiro, Gualberto, Brasil, Oliveira, & Silva, 2014;Ferro & Boyle, 2015;Lau et al, 2014;Pilli et al, 2017;Wood, Miller, & Lehman, 2015).…”

Gastroesophageal Refl ux Disease (GERD) with high prevalence and incidence in the pediatric population is a relevant issue in public health. The literature associates family psychosocial aspects with chronic childhood illness. The present study examined the psychological alterations and peculiarities of caregivers and of children with GERD (n = 26) and healthy children (n = 30) from 3 to 12 years of age. Instruments: Sociodemographic Questionnaire and Assessment of Risk Factors for Child Illness; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; and Rutter's Child Behavior Scale (A2), all of which were administered to the caregivers. Quantitative data analysis (χ2 test, Fisher's exact test and ANOVA) was performed, respecting each instrument's respective criteria. In the group of children with GERD, we observed both a higher incidence of alcohol and/or drug use/abuse and higher levels of anxiety and depression on the part of the caregivers, as well as psychosocial problems involving the child. In light of the developmental level expected for this age group, greater frequency of behavioral problems was also observed. We thus conclude that there is a correlation between family psychological traits and GERD in children, stressing the need for conducting further studies and for supervising interdisciplinary clinical practices in the health care of this population.

“…First and foremost, affective immunology is a framework of research based on two fundamental assumptions: (i) the immune and emotional systems mirror each other; (ii) both the immunological and emotional responses are dynamic and continuously changing. The first assumption is based on a large body of both clinical and experimental evidence showing an increased incidence of emotional disorders in patients suffering from immune diseases 1,[10][11][12][13][14] and an increased susceptibility to immune diseases in patients suffering from mental disorders. [15][16][17][18] These links and connections have been extensively discussed in several review articles, [1][2][3]6,[18][19][20][21][22] including our own.…”

Affect and emotion are defined as “an essential part of the process of an organism's interaction with stimuli.” Similar to affect, the immune response is the “tool” the body uses to interact with the external environment. Thanks to the emotional and immunological response, we learn to distinguish between what we like and what we do not like, to counteract a broad range of challenges, and to adjust to the environment we are living in. Recent compelling evidence has shown that the emotional and immunological systems share more than a similarity of functions. This review article will discuss the crosstalk between these two systems and the need for a new scientific area of research called affective immunology. Research in this field will allow a better understanding and appreciation of the immunological basis of mental disorders and the emotional side of immune diseases.
