What is Chronic Disease?
Chronic disease is a health condition where a patient experiences persistent or long-lasting symptoms that develops in time. The term ‘chronic’ applies when the course of a disease lasts more than three months. Chronic disease can be caused by lifestyle such as an unhealthy diet, lack of sleep or exercise, smoking and alcohol consumption. Other patients may experience chronic disease due to genetics, which can be managed with check-ups and early diagnosis with a healthcare professional at a chronic disease clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions on Chronic Disease
What factors contribute to the development of chronic diseases?
Lifestyle is one of the major factors that can contribute to chronic diseases. This is because behavioural risk factors such as smoking, an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor sleep habits can affect your overall well-being.
Another factor can also be genes, where some patients are predisposed to certain chronic conditions which can be managed through chronic disease care.
What are the symptoms of common chronic diseases?
Chronic diseases often have disease-specific symptoms, however they may also bring invisible symptoms like pain, fatigue and mood disorders. Pain and fatigue can be common signs of an underlying chronic condition especially when experienced frequently throughout the day.
How are chronic diseases diagnosed?
A diagnosis for chronic disease begins when a patient seeks treatment for ongoing symptoms. These can range from pain, fatigue, loss of function or chronic illnesses that last a year or more that may require attention through medication, procedures, a mental health plan, or behavioural health treatment plan or all the above.
How often should I have check-ups or follow-up appointments for my chronic condition?
Seeing your doctor will vary depending on your condition and the treatment or plan that is recommended to you. Some people may require follow-up appointments with their doctor every few weeks, while others may only need to visit the clinic once a year. In cases of chronic disease management, it is important to consult with your doctor so you will be informed on what is necessary for your follow-up care.
Are there any potential complications or side effects associated with chronic disease management?
Chronic disease management can have its challenges such as cost, physical limitations, emotional challenges, and medication management and care coordination. However, chronic disease management can help you with quality of life as well as prevent you from experiencing further health complications. The first step is consulting with your healthcare professional and working together with them to learn what is best for you and your overall well-being.
