INVALIDS Meaning and
Definition
-
Invalids refer to individuals who are suffering from a chronic illness or disability, rendering them unable to perform their daily activities or maintain their usual level of physical or mental functioning. The term is often used to specifically describe people who require long-term medical care, assistance, or support due to their limitations.
Invalids can encompass various categories of health conditions and disabilities. These may range from physical impairments, such as paralysis or limb amputations, to chronic illnesses like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or Alzheimer's disease. The term can also extend to individuals with mental health disorders, such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
Typically, invalids are reliant on medical treatments, therapies, or assistive devices to manage their condition and improve their quality of life. They often require assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, or mobility. Family members, caregivers, or healthcare professionals often play key roles in ensuring the well-being and comfort of invalids.
The term "invalids" can sometimes be seen as outdated or negative, suggesting their limitations overshadow their overall identity or potential. However, it remains a widely recognized term in medical and caregiving contexts to describe those impacted by chronic illnesses or disabilities.
