Chronic means of long duration. It doesn't mean "frequent."

Chronic Of long duration and slow progression. Illnesses that are chronic develop slowly over time, and do not end. Symptoms may be continual or intermittent, but the patient usually has the condition for life.

I looked up chronic as in liar as opposed to chronic as in medicine.

My mistake.
