FERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ, Juan Carlos e HERRERA MERA, Mayte. The association between rhinitis and psychological factors: an update. Escritos de Psicología [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.1, pp.14-19. ISSN 1989-3809. https://dx.doi.org/10.5231/psy.writ.2012.2709.
The present article examines the concept of rhinitis, its classification and the reasons for classifying the different types of rhinitis as psychophysiological diseases. We review the few studies that have investigated the association between rhinitis and psychological factors. Most of these studies have focussed on allergies, among which is rhinitis. We also assess current knowledge on the association between rhinitis and psychological factors, mainly addressing anxiety, depression and personality characteristics. Further lines of research are suggested regarding this association.
