Abstract
In her article, “Microphenomenology of Chronicity in Psychosomatic Diseases: Diabetes, Anorexia, and Schizophrenia,” the renowned French phenomenologist Natalie Depraz reflects upon chronicity as a category that might be common to different forms of chronic diseases. In my comment I will first summarize Depraz's analysis, which will then allow me to elaborate on some open questions that her chapter seems to leave us with.
