- Physical limitations: Reduced mobility, strength, or sensory function can limit daily activities and independence.
- Chronic health conditions: Many genetic diseases are chronic, requiring ongoing medical management and treatment.
- Emotional challenges: Feelings of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem can impact mental health and well-being.
- Social isolation: Difficulty forming relationships or participating in social activities due to physical limitations or social stigma.
- Economic challenges: Lost income, medical expenses, and limited employment opportunities can create financial strain.
