Published in End-of-Life Care 1 min read

A common symptom seen at the end of life is decreased consciousness.

This can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Confusion: The individual may experience disorientation, difficulty following conversations, or have trouble remembering things.
  • Lethargy: They may sleep more often and have less energy.
  • Agitation: They may become restless, agitated, or experience hallucinations.
  • Withdrawal: They may lose interest in their surroundings and social interactions.

It's important to understand that these symptoms are a natural part of the dying process and are not necessarily indicative of pain or suffering. Medical professionals can provide support and comfort to those experiencing these symptoms.
