Is there a connection between respiratory depression and respiratory disease? i.e. can, respiratory depression be a sign of respiratory disease?

Respiratory problem: Respiratory depression is something that causes you to breath less often - either a drug, metabolic condition, or a brain problem generally. Respiratory disease can encompass respiratory depression, but is generally any process that affects the lungs, the respiratory muscles, or the airway and leads to either a reduction of C02 or oxygen exchange.
