My beautiful Dad suffered months with severe delirium due to misdiagnosis & inadequate screening & knowledge by medical staff. Horrific. Incredible that he ended up recovering cognitively as well as he did with zero help from professionals.
You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but confusion is that times a thousand.
For many years i have acute confusion, i cant hold an idea for seconds everything vanish suddenly.. I feel emparrassed every time within conversations. I feel myself like an old man, i take time to understand things, i need to repeat the idea many times, i cannot do simple calculations mentally i cannot analyse things, i only keep silent in any conversation where ideas need to be given, i cannot give a decision over things because the idea vanish suddenly... Now only i know what delirium is and for very long years searching what is going wrong with me.. Because i am totally mentally disabled ( for some time or seconds).. It is very difficult for me to talk and play with my ideas, people always tell me that what am saying is not clear to them.. I know what i have that is not natural. Many times i only want to tell what i hold in my mind very quickly afraid that i will be lost and forget..i did not see a doctor because i cannot tell him what i have or i feel this is the part of my mentall illness. Am writing now with difficulty. Plz help me because all the time i think in ending my life.. I cannot live with this disabled mind.. I graduated as engineer and could not find a job for long years now. No body will accept me to work with him... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

No dieabeties he has concussion and gets week and dizzy.

My mum have dementia, age 79 and 9 months, she had her hip replacement operation two weeks ago in Footscray hospital, Victoria. She was in hospital for two weeks. Operation was successful, doc said mum seen to have bit of delirium, I thought it was temporary… but She was never screened while hospital daily. She was on a catheter twice for about a week. I got her home few days ago, she still has reflex incontinence and wee at night. She did most nights while hospital after removing the catheter. Do you think her nerves are damaged using a catheter or dementia & delirium got worsened ? Pre surgery, she went to toilet middle of the night by herself. Now she urinate at night involuntarily and don’t seems to ask for help to clean her …. Please help ….

Hallucinations can be the result of Urinary tract infection. Dehydration can cause them. Is it the same for Delirium .?

Problem with staying home is he gets so aggressive. I'm afraid he could harm me ,himself or others.

If your husband is nodding off, he might have sleep apnoea. It’s important to get that treated, because the brain declines without enough oxygen.

Confusion is a symptom of delirium, but
