Palliative care is treatment, care, and support for people with a life-limiting illness, and their family and friends. It's sometimes called 'supportive care'. The aim of palliative care is to help you to have a good quality of life – this includes being as well and active as possible in the time you have left.

When you apply for a green card in the United States, you usually need to have a medical examination. The exam must be done by a doctor who is authorized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We're here for you!
We will be examinating the patient for any possible medical signs or symptoms of a medical condition. It generally consists of a series of questions about the patient's medical history followed by an examination based on the reported symptoms. Together, the medical history and the physical examination help to determine a diagnosis and devise the treatment plan. This data then becomes part of the medical record.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health problems, including:
- Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry
-Life experiences, such as trauma or abuse
-Family history of mental health problems
Mental health problems are common but help is available. People with mental health problems can get better and many recover completely.
