Should addiction be added as another example of a chronic

Or should addiction be added as an example of a genetic disease?
Or should addiction be added as an example of a social disease or simply a genetic lack of resolve and personal responsibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.34.254 (talk) 21:52, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Should PREGNANCY be listed as a chronic condition? Surely not!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.16.226.107 (talk) 12:12, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
"1 a: marked by long duration or frequent recurrence : not acute <chronic indigestion> <chronic experiments> b: suffering from a chronic disease <the special needs of chronic patients>2 a: always present or encountered; especially : constantly vexing, weakening, or troubling <chronic petty warfare> b: being such habitually <a chronic grumbler>"
As always, the first definition in a dictionary is the more specialized definition, but even it is not confined to illness (e.g., chronic experiments). The second defintion implies an incredibly generalized meaning.
"Chronic inflation" is using defintion 2a of the word chronic. Please delete the entire section. This has nothing to do with metaphor.
Should this page be moved to Chronic disease? It currently starts "A chronic disease is..." Biosthmors (talk) 18:43, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
To me, as a doctor, "chronic" does, indeed, mean "long-standing; long duration".
Many people, however, use the word to mean something like "bad; worse than I'd expect; severe". So when a doctor refers to a chronic pain, they mean one that has gone on for a long time (or is likely to do so); a patient may just use the word to emphasise the pain's severity.
I don't know how or whether to reflect this in this article.

As far as I know Lyme Disease is not recognised as a chronic disease by the medical community. Is this correct? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.160.77.185 (talk) 17:24, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Is there a reason the intro states chronic diseases are a "human" health condition? Although the examples are slanted towards humans, I would assume that a chronic disease is based on the time of the illness, not the species. SabarCont 08:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
Does the paragraph
hint at a three-fold classification of diseases: chronic/acute/recurrent? 86.132.220.226 (talk) 13:41, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Chronic (medicine) → Chronic condition – According to WP:TITLEFORMAT, nouns and noun phrases are preferable to other parts of speech, such as adjectives, for titles. Wiktionary says "chronic" can be a noun, outside of the slang term for marijuana, but it provides no examples of this. Additionally, WP:NATURAL supports the move. I chose "Chronic condition" since it's currently bolded in the lede, though some existing redirects would work just as well, such as Chronic disease, Chronic disorder, and Chronic illness. --BDD (talk) 23:14, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
Almost every section of this article, save for the first two, is US specific. Even where this is not indicated, most of the sources pertain to research conducted in the US about the US population only. This article is in dire need of a worldwide view, so I'd encourage anybody in a position to provide factually accurate information about chronic conditions in populations outside the US.

The article that is linked to as the German version (through Deutsch in left menu) is not actually about chronic conditions. It's about disease progression. Is this the right place to note that? Thanks. Ajh0307 (talk) 13:34, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Was thinking of adding a sort of an intro to the epidemiology of chronic conditions around the world more so rather than just having the United States view. What do you guys think? Gurshawnstuteja (talk) 15:55, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
I think this could be beneficial as chronic conditions range in a variety of countries and socio-economic status for access to healthcare. D. Vase (talk) 08:52, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. — Music1201 talk 00:20, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Chronic condition → Chronic Disease and Condition – The current title, Chronic condition, should not be the only thing specified. For one, Chronic disease is the more well known/well understood term worldwide. So, in order to keep this uniformity for the viewers, the name should either include the words Chronic Disease or both terms: conditions and disease. Furthermore, the article itslef refers to disease throughout its page, so it only makes sense to call the page Chronic Disease at the least or, in order to encompass more, Chronic Disease and Conditions. – Gurshawnstuteja (talk) 18:09, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
should there be a standalone article[1]?--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 14:30, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, yesterday I made a mistake when I tried to correct interwiki links. My aim was to delete a wrong Link [dewiki]: Krankheitsverlauf. Krankheitsverlauf has a much broader meaning than chronic condition. Unfortunately, I am not able to restore other interwiki links deleted by accident. --Sti (talk) 11:13, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
