It's fairly common that people with a chronic illness also have clinical depression. That's because a chronic illness does more than affect a person's physical well-being. A chronic illness, such as diabetes or heart disease, has a major impact on a person's lifestyle and even on a person's sense of self.
Examples of chronic illnesses include type 1 or type 2 diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease, HIV/AIDS, lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease, and cancer.
