Anita is recovering from a chronic illness. Her social identity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic illness not only affects a person physically but also mentally, emotionally and socially. Recovering from a chronic illness and rebuilding one's social identity can present challenges such as changes in social roles, difficulty with re-engaging in previous activities and stigmatization. Therefore, Anita's social identity will need to be rebuilt with challenges. Option A and E are not suitable as they present extreme positions, while option B and D are not entirely correct, as losing one's social identity after a chronic illness or stating that it will never be the same again is too deterministic.
