Chronic diseases = Management
To successfully manage chronic diseases, individuals and family members need:
  • Education - own the disease and understand all of the disease's aspects
  • Support - attend support groups, reach out at church and with family
  • Positive Coping Strategies - develop strategies that work best individually
Chronic diseases can become more fatal and quicker if these aspects are not applied.
