Delirium is a short-lasting state of confusion that can render the affected person incapable of understanding their surroundings or performing basic cognitive functions. It occurs due to various factors, but aging is one of the most common factors. The presence of other secondary factors in older people can increase the risk. Delirium may last from a few hours to a few states, depending on its severity. You may experience extreme confusion or dissociation from the environment or people around you. Delirium cannot be managed well at home and requires professional medical care.
