Delirium is a sudden, confused state of mind that may come and go over the day. People with delirium may have changes in the way they think. Their personality and behaviour may change quite a lot. They may have trouble paying attention to what’s going on around them or doing the things they normally can do.
Delirium is a warning sign that the person needs help right away. Call your family doctor, nurse, healthcare provider, or Health Link at 811.
