what is a chronic illness?

a noncommunicable illness that is prolonged in duration, does not resolve spontaneously, and is rarely cured completely.

examples: cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis

people with chronic illnesses are more

vulnerable to depression, stress, and anxiety3

depression statistics

depression, anxiety and stress are known

factors to diminish a patient’s health3

depression is associated with a 50–100% increase

in health services use and costs3

chronic illness has also been found to be

associated with a higher risk of suicide4
