Long Term Management Of Chronic Illness

Chronic medical conditions can be controlled but not cured. Examples of chronic diseases include but are not limited to pulmonary disease, diabetes, and heart disease.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), chronic illness is considered as the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Chronic disease accounts for approximately 70 percent of all death in the United States, which is about 1.7 million each year.

What is a Chronic Health Condition?

A chronic health condition is defined as a medical condition that lasts six months or longer. The incidences of many long term illnesses and chronic conditions are increasing across the globe due to a range of factors, including lifestyle problems, and aging population.

Chronic medical conditions are often:

  • Caused by a number of different health conditions occurring at the same time
  • Last for a long time leading to other health problems

  • Take time to develop

Living With Chronic Conditions

There is no definitive cure for a majority of chronic illnesses and the patient needs to learn to live with it. However, it is possible to maintain the best quality of life by:

  • Finding a trustworthy source of information about the disease, its treatment, and management
  • Staying informed about the disease
  • Understanding the medication, why it is being used, and any potential side effects it may have
  • Setting small goals for yourself as achieving short term goals make it easy to tackle the illness
  • Developing skills that help manage your pain and fatigue
  • Planning for the future with your doctor and caregiver

  • Getting emotional support by being vocal about your problems
