Chronic illnesses that begin in childhood can have a wide range of negative effects on the psychosocial situation and quality of life of the children affected. Furthermore, a chronic illness places a considerable burden on those affected, their families and the healthcare system. This book highlights the psychological and social consequences of a chronic illness and the immense effort that people living with chronic illness must exert. It also provides a brief insight into the potential difficulties that may arise when accessing health-promoting interventions. This book is therefore intended to help foster a better understanding of children with chronic illnesses and their specific circumstances, and to provide support tailored to their needs.
