Delirium – Symptoms & Causes

Mood Changes

Another possible symptom of delirium is any change in your mood. Though it is usual to be happy and sad from time to time, people with this condition might suffer from quick and unexpected mood swings. This means that they would turn from lightheadedly happy to crazily angry just in a few minutes. Also, these patients tend to go paranoid or irritable more easily. Outbursts of irritability or frustration are more common when they experience many issues with daily tasks as well. If you have friends or family members with delirium, avoid upsetting them further since it can be counterproductive and might lead to many relationship issues. [4]
