Abstract

Chronic illness refers to long-term conditions that are rarely completely cured and are often characterized by uncertain outcomes, unpredictable episodes of intrusive symptoms and intermittent or progressive physical and/or mental impairment. Examples include cardiovascular disease, arthritis, respiratory problems, diabetes, epilepsy, and cancer. This entry provides a brief overview of how chronic illness may impact on people’s lives generally before considering how chronic illness intersects with LGBTQ lives more specifically.
