Chronic illnesses are conditions that last longer than three months and are typically managed but not cured. They are believed to affect nearly one-half of adult Americans. You are reading this because chronic illness has impacted your life in a number of ways, such as tiring easily, experiencing frequent pain, changes in appearance or physical abilities, and side effects of prescribed medications. 

Feelings of worry, stress, anxiety, anger, and depression may complicate your experiences of being overwhelmed by the illness, finding it hard to understand what is happening, and feeling frustrated by a strict schedule of medication and doctor or hospital visits. 

Working with a behavioral health care specialist in these processes can be very helpful. The support of a behavioral health specialist who has personal experience with a chronic illness can assist you to better adapt and cope with the effects of illness and related disability.
