This paper investigates the presence of anxiety, anger and depression in a sample of patients with asthma from a hospital environment and a sample of people free of this respiratory disease. For this research, the Anxiety Situations and Responses Inventory (ASRA), the Spanish adaptation of the Stait-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) and the Tri-dimensional Personality Questionnaire for Depression (TPQD) were used. Patients with respiratory disease scored significantly higher on negative emotions than people without asthma. The results will be discussed to consider the importance of taking emotions into account in order to handle the disease in a comprehensive manner
