It is unfortunate that some acquire chronic diseases at an early age, yet for the most part chronic diseases are seen in the older population. In order to effectively tackle these issues of chronic disease, the population as a whole needs to understand that there is no quick fix to such diseases. Once a person acquires a chronic disease there is no turning back the clocks of time. As public health professions we need the public to be aware that chronic diseases are permanent and doctors can not prescribe magic pills to fix a life long history of decisions or complex interactions that lead to the development of a chronic disease. Thus in order for a person to deal with their chronic conditions an infrastructure system has to be in place so the patient knows they are taking the correct actions to live a quality life while living with a chronic condition. Next, people are not born in a vacuum so I would suggest that people with similar chronic conditions conjugate and discuss how they are coping by calling on each other since they are going through similar life changes. Most of the responsibility lies in the hands of the individual to manage their chronic illness however we know that individual behavior changes are difficult to achieve and that collective efforts must be made in order to reap future changes. Changes can start from the top down or the bottom up, yet however the change is initiated it is certain that we must all be on the same track so we can achieve the outcome of living a quality life with a chronic condition and reaching full life expectancy.
