Chronic illness is long-term illness, and temporary disability is short-term limited activity.
If you have a long term illness, medical condition or disability.
Short term disability insurance can help workers that suffer a temporary disability kicks in, if it's an illness that keeps them out of work for an extended period of time.
An acquired disability is a disability that a person develops later in life due to illness, injury, or other external factors. A developmental disability is a disability that originates before the age of 22 and affects a person's physical, cognitive, or emotional development.
Stigma associated with chronic illness and disability:
Illness is simply a poor state of health. Disease is an "abnormal condition affecting a body" Disability is an impairment of body function or structure that restricts normal functioning. None of them are as specific as most people think, and they're often interchangeable.
Every disease is an illness but not every illness is a disease (A disease is not a virus, parasite, etc but an illness could be)
The difference between disease and illness is that a disease is something that can consume your whole body and it is often things like cancer, ALS and many other things. An illness is short lived, often like a cold.
A vaccine protects against a future illness. An antiserum treats a current illness.
