A chronic illness is defined by its long duration and generally slow progression. It is a health condition that persists for three months or more and often requires ongoing medical management. Unlike acute illnesses, chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, COPD) typically cannot be cured but can be controlled. Management focuses on reducing symptoms, preventing complications, and helping patients maintain their quality of life through lifestyle modifications, medication, and regular monitoring.
