Terminal Disease
Terminal disease is a medical condition with no cure and a very poor prognosis for life expectancy. It is usually caused by complications from an underlying condition or a variety of conditions that have caused irreversible damage to a person’s health. Terminal diseases have a very low chance of being cured and often lead to death. For those who are diagnosed with a terminal disease, palliative care is typically provided to make them as comfortable as possible, during the advanced stages of their illness. This can include medication, physical therapy, and psychological support. Terminal disease can affect patients and their families in a variety of ways, and support systems are often necessary for those living with terminal diseases.
