- Physiological conditions
- Chronic illness
- A chronic illness is a health condition or disease that is long lasting
- examples can include asthma, COPD, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, Hepatitis B/C
- many are caused by: tobacco use and exposure to second hand smoke
- examples can include asthma, COPD, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, Hepatitis B/C

- Neurological conditions
- Neurological conditions are disorders of the brain, spinal cord or nerves. which cause a genetic, injury and or infection.
- Sudden onset- stroke, meningitis. intermittent- epilepsy progressive- dementia, MND stable with changing needs- tourettes and fibromyalgia
- Physical symptoms of neurological problems may include the following:Partial or complete paralysis. Muscle weakness.Partial or complete loss of sensation.Seizures.Difficulty reading and writing.Poor cognitive abilities.Unexplained pain.Decreased alertness.
- The specific causes of neurological problems vary, but can include genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities or disorders, infections, lifestyle or environmental health problems including malnutrition, and brain injury, spinal cord injury, nerve injury and gluten sensitivity

- Degenerative disease
- Degenerative disease is the result of a continuous process based on degenerative cell changes, affecting tissues or organs, which will increasingly deteriorate over time.
- examples include MND, mutiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes.
- Degenerative diseases are caused by a wide variety of factors. Some are a direct result of normal wear and tear of the body, while others are perpetuated by poor health or an unhealthy lifestyle.

- autoimmune
- Autoimmune is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body
- Examples include coeliac disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, nephrotic syndrome
- The exact cause of autoimmune disorders is unknown. One theory is that some microorganisms (such as bacteria or viruses) or drugs may trigger changes that confuse the immune system. This may happen more often in people who have genes that make them more prone to autoimmune disorders

- genetic conditions
- genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities formed in the genome. Most genetic disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions. ... However, in some genetic disorders, defects may be caused by new mutations, altered phenotype, or changes to the DNA.
- examples include cystic fibrosis ,muscular dystrophy, phenylketonuria (PKU), downs syndrome
- Genetic Disorders Symptoms & CausesEar abnormalities.Unusually shaped eyes.Different colored eyes.Facial features that are unusual or different from other family members.Brittle or sparse hair.Excessive body hair.White patches of hair.Large or small tongue.
- There are three types of genetic disorders:Single-gene disorders, where a mutation affects one gene. Sickle cell anemia is an example.Chromosomal disorders, where chromosomes (or parts of chromosomes) are missing or changed. ...Complex disorders, where there are mutations in two or more genes.
