Terminal diseases, often referred to as end-stage illnesses, represent a group of conditions that are progressive and incurable, leading to a gradual decline in health and quality of life. These conditions include terminal cancer, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), advanced heart failure, and neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. Patients with terminal diseases experience complex symptomatology, which may include severe pain, functional impairment, and emotional distress. Palliative care and hospice services are crucial in managing symptoms, providing comfort, and addressing the psychological and emotional needs of both patients and their families. Advances in supportive therapies and compassionate care approaches aim to improve the overall well-being and dignity of individuals facing terminal illnesses.
