Avital activity of patients suffering from bronchial asthma

Based on the options developed by the authors of the associative learning test for reaction time on the words incentives related to the theme of death, a survey of patients with bronchial asthma. In these patients revealed less of various forms of activity in the history of avital compared with the control group. It is shown that in asthmatic patients with severe and moderately severe clinical manifestations in the associative test, recorded an increase in reaction time to words related to the theme of death (the death of the complex), compared with neutral words. The authors suggest that increased attraction to death if you can not implement it in other forms avital activity is involved in the pathogenesis of asthma as a psychosomatic form of pathological biological activity aimed at the reduction and termination of life.
