Chronic just means long lasting. You may have epileptic attacks over many years but they may be infrequent, short and manageable such as "aura". Severe epilepsy usually means "intractable" epilepsy where the attacks are frequent, usually involve spasms or convulsive movements, loss of conciousness and little or no response to treatment. Of course you can have chronic and severe epilepsy.
