Strazdins E, et al. - Authors aimed to assess the association of poor mental health with perception of nasal function. Compared with individuals who are mentally healthy with clinically similar nasal airflow, a poorer self-perception of nasal function was observed among patients with poor mental health status. Researchers suggested clinicians be aware that patients with poor mental health reporting obstructed airflow could in part be representing an extension of their negative emotions rather than true obstruction and might require further assessment prior to surgery.
