DELIRIUM SYMPTOMS |
||||||||||||||||||
|
The symptoms of delirium come on quickly,
in hours or days, in contrast to those of dementia, which develop
much more slowly. Delirium symptoms typically fluctuate through the
day, with periods of relative calm and lucidity alternating with
periods of florid delirium. The hallmark of delirium is a
fluctuating level of consciousness. Symptoms may include: Decreased awareness of the environment Confusion or disorientation, especially of time Memory impairment, especially of recent events Hallucinations Illusions and misinterpreted stimuli Increased or decreased activity level Mood disturbance, possibly including anxiety, euphoria or depression. Language or speech impairment. |
