delirium Acute brain syndrome Delirium (disorder) |
|
| definition |
Delirium is characterized by reduced ability to maintain attention; disturbance of immediate memory; and disorganized, slowed, and impoverished thinking. Disorientation, altered shortterm and long-term memory, illusions, and hallucinations are frequently but not invariably present. Although delirium usually is accompanied by decreased arousal and psychomotor slowing, occasionally it may be characterized by hypervigilance and enhanced psychomotor activity. Occasionally, there is a ‘dreamy’ or ‘twilight’ state associated with partial loss of contact with the outer world. |
