Chronic Illnesses can be cured?

A chronic illness is a condition that lasts for a very long time and usually cannot be cured completely, although some illnesses can be controlled or managed through lifestyle (diet and exercise) and certain medications.

A chronic or long-term illness means having to adjust to the demands of the illness and the therapy used to treat the condition. There may be additional stresses since chronic illness might change the way you live, see yourself, and relate to others.

Chronic or long-term illness and its treatment pose special problems. You need to learn how to:

• live with the physical effects of the illness

• deal with the treatments

• make sure there is clear communication with doctors

• maintain emotional balance to cope with negative feelings

• maintain confidence and a positive self-image.
