What are examples of illnesses?

Expert Solution
InDise

 Illness refers to an individual's experience of the loss of health. Unlike a disease, illness is a condition that has to be managed and not cured. Illness is explained to the physician by the patient. A disease may lead to illnesses, however, an individual may have illness even before the diagnosis of the underlying disease.
