occurs when a person's employment or well-being is dependent on

medical or health problems with associated symptoms or disabilities that
require long-term management; has also been referred to as
noncommunicable disease, chronic condition, or chronic disorder
- some definitions use a duration of 3 months or longer, whereas others use
a year or longer to indicate chronic disease
- definitions of chronic disease or chronic illness share the characteristics of
being irreversible, having a prolonged course, and unlikely to resolve
spontaneously
- the specific chronic condition may be a result of illness, genetic factors,
or injury; it may be a consequence of conditions or unhealthy behaviors
that began during childhood and young adulthood
- management of chronic conditions includes learning to live with
symptoms or disabilities and coming to terms with identity changes
resulting from having a chronic condition
- also consists of carrying out the lifestyle changes and regimens designed
, to control symptoms and prevent complications
- although some people assume what might be called a "sick role" identity,
most people with chronic conditions do not consider themselves to be sick
or ill and try to live as normal a life as possible
- only when complications develop or symptoms interfere with activities of
daily living (ADLs) do most people with chronic health conditions think of
themselves as being sick or disabled
