Core Tip	Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent airflow limitation and often accompanied by multiple comorbidities, with depression being particularly prevalent. Through bidirectional psychophysiological mechanisms, depression adversely affects both the quality of life and pulmonary function in patients with COPD. Underestimating this impact may significantly compromise the treatment efficacy. Establishing multidisciplinary teams to develop integrated treatment plans and optimize comprehensive COPD management may improve psychosomatic outcomes, quality of life, and prognosis in patients with COPD and comorbid depression.
