Chronic Diseases

People who have chronic diseases, they go through constant mental health problems like depression anxiety, panic disorder. Other people don’t seem to notice but there are people who are suffering and society doesn’t empathize with them.

People who have COPD or asthma, they are scared to get outside of their houses. Why? Because people outside are smoking, dust and pollens are everywhere. People don’t care whether someone gets sick because of them or not. These people go through palpitations, panic attacks and anxiety disorders.

People who have GIT diseases like celiac disease, IBS, IBD, such people have dietary restrictions. They feel isolated in social gatherings and cannot eat freely in restaurants. They feel alone and depressed but people don’t seem to care about it.

People who are diabetics, they cannot eat sugary things and have depression when they see someone eating whatever they want to and they cheat on their diet and get sick but society doesn’t care about sick people and life goes on.

People who have neurological disorders like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, these people are constantly worried about their condition and are scared to fall off anywhere and make a joke about themselves. Why? Because people seem to know their condition and will not accommodate them and run away from them. They are anxious.

People who have hypertension, IHD etc, they go through anxiety and panic attacks because of medications they are taking and become sensitive to slightest things.

People who have autoimmune diseases, they go through the constant hospitalisations and they get depressed and get tired of it. These people get irritated because of hospitalisations. Their daily life gets disturbed and have financial issues because of constant admissions into the hospital.

We as a society need to understand other people’s needs and empathize with them.

We should ban public smoking and make allergy treatment centres and provide services to take care of medications side effects.

We should make foods which are cheap and readily available for people who have GIT disorders. We should do research on the medications and treatment of such diseases.

Research in medical field is not as vast as we thought it to be.

Government should make appropriate budget for health system so that our people don’t suffer so much. Society needs to empathize with sick people.

I couldn’t give more examples but in the next article, I’ll try to explain more diseases.

Thankyou so much for reading it.

Take care.
