1) they have a chronic illness for which there is no cure, so it affects not only their physical health, it also affects their mental well being and can lead to depression 2) As stated above there can be erectile disfunction. 3) there could be marital issues due to the pt's non-compliance with medication and the spouse is now worried even more so about their health, then the patient is.
