Palliative care is specialized medical care focused on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness. That includes pain and other symptom management, but also family needs, coordination of care, and emotional support. 

The depression, fear and anxiety that come with dying are treated with opiates, antidepressants, and palliative sedation. But the use of psychedelics, specifically in the form of psilocybin, may be the better solution to easing psychological distress.
