Chronic Illness and Disability

Chronic illness refers to a health condition that lasts for a long time, often months or years, and may not have a cure. Examples include diabetes, asthma, or arthritis. Disability involves a physical, mental, or emotional condition that limits a person's ability to perform certain activities or participate fully in daily life. While some disabilities are visible, others are invisible. Both chronic illness and disability can vary greatly in severity and impact, requiring ongoing management or adjustments to help individuals live fully and maintain their quality of life.
