Abstract
This complex case reflects the difficulties in assessing existential suffering at the end of life. Existential distress is often present in terminal illness and may be associated with syndromes such as depression and desire for hastened death. A multi- modal and interdisciplinary approach is essential in addressing existential distress. Attending a patient with existential suffering highlighted our limitations and difficulties in decision making.
