Abstract
Respiratory disabilities encompass a diverse range of conditions that significantly impair breathing and gas exchange, affecting millions globally. Common disorders include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and severe respiratory infections. These conditions lead to both acute and chronic health challenges, resulting in decreased quality of life and increased healthcare costs. This overview examines the causes, prevalence, types, and impacts of respiratory disabilities, emphasizing their multifaceted nature. It also discusses current management strategies, including pharmacological treatments, rehabilitation, and psychosocial support, highlighting the need for comprehensive approaches to improve outcomes for affected individuals. Enhanced awareness and targeted interventions are crucial for mitigating the social, psychological, and economic burdens associated with respiratory disabilities.
