This study aimed at the effect and prevalence of asthma in children aged 9- 14 years. The patients were divided into 35 BOYS 15 GIRLS . As the airways narrow during an asthma attack, the child has difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and coughing, and these problems are usually accompanied by wheezing. The mechanism of development of the disease differs from person to person, as episodes of shortness of breath disappear after the end of childhood in most people, while in another group, they last for long periods. Scientific studies have proven that there are some diseases that are an indicator of exposure to another disease, and the link is either in that the first disease caused damage that caused the second, or that there are genetic disorders or bad health behaviors that lead to this disease and another disease follows and among these diseases Asthma as an indicator of anxiety and depression disorders.
