Delirium – Symptoms & Causes

Confusion

Patients with delirium usually suffer from mental confusion about temporal, time, and spatial events. Time confusion is characterized by doing some tasks at the wrong time, such as changes in sleeping or eating schedules. Spatial confusion might make you forget the directions or ways to the office or school. In many cases, you would wander off and do not know exactly where you are heading to. Similarly, delirium is also associated with place disorientation in which you might mistake the bedroom for the living room. All of these problems can be dangerous and have many serious effects on your daily life. [2]
