Terminal illness refers to a medical condition that is incurable and irreversible, leading to the patient’s death within a foreseeable period, usually defined as six months to a year. These illnesses can affect various body systems and are often associated with significant physical deterioration and a decline in quality of life. Examples of terminal illnesses include advanced stages of cancer, late-stage organ failure, and certain neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. The diagnosis of a terminal illness can have profound implications for treatment options, palliative care, emotional support, and end-of-life planning for patients and their families. The focus usually shifts from curative treatments to caring for the patient’s comfort and dignity in their remaining time.
