Abstract. The incidence of COPD has increased worldwide and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Common symptoms of the disease include shortness of breath, cough, sputum production, and changes in airway composition resulting from chronic exposure to cigarette smoke or pollutants. Depression and anxiety aggravate obesity and lead to exacerbation of COPD, and can also have a profound impact on health status, exercise capacity, lung function and mortality.

Keywords: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), depression and anxiety
