Many therapeutic approaches for the treatment of depression, anxiety and so on, rely on the teaching of breath techniques. I have a pronounced nasal septum deviation, with respiratory functionality reduced of about 30%-40% .

Skipping on the details of my psychological condition, I have the scientific curiosity of knowing if someone ever studied the effects of reduced air intake (eventually caused by nasal septum deviation) on psychological disorders.

I will not go for septoplasty unless I can prove myself that nasal septum deviation can be a co-factor in mental disorders.
What I have found relates only to the otorhinolaryngologist point of view.

Thank you!

PS-I cross-posted on NeuroTalk, but I think I'll hardly have a reply there. Hope this isn't a probem...
