Answer 1

Chronic illness is like autoimmune diseases that can be developed at any time in life but most often they are developed early in life or at middle age and unfortunately they don't go away. There are many forms of chronic conditions. A person living with a chronic condition is often overwhelmed with medical bills which is somewhat devastating for them. One of the worst things about the chronic condition is despite of having excellent medications for acute illnesses, we still do not have a definite cure for most types of chronic conditions. It is quite easy to understand that when something becomes lifelong there is actually no cure and a person experiencing it is left hopeless. A person living with chronic conditions often faces elevated anxiety or a feeling of nothing left in their life except medical treatments. They have to face several challenges on a regular basis like chronic pain, chronic malaise, chronic fatigue, chronic disability of all type and depression. Life seems pretty confining to them. Some people living with primary immunodeficiency or who are immunosupressed to a severe degree have to wear mask all the time which causes irritation and can lead to anger, sadness, depression or just a longing to be normal. In short, life seems pretty limited and hopeless which is the biggest challenge of living with chronic conditions.
