Chronic Illness

What is Chronic Illness?

A chronic illness is a long-term health condition that often lasts for months or years and typically requires continuous medical attention. Examples include diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, and autoimmune disorders.

While these conditions primarily affect the body, they can also deeply impact your mental and emotional well-being. Many individuals living with chronic illnesses experience stress, anxiety, depression, and frustration as they navigate ongoing symptoms, treatment, and lifestyle changes.

 

Common Emotional Challenges of Chronic Illness

✔️ Anxiety about health and the future
✔️ Depression or feelings of hopelessness
✔️ Stress from daily pain or limitations
✔️ Anger or frustration about physical restrictions
✔️ Fatigue and low motivation
✔️ Isolation or withdrawal from social life
