Delirious syndrome (syndromum deliriosum) is a condition characterized by impaired brain function that can lead to mental and physical changes. This syndrome manifests itself in the form of acute mental disorientation, difficulty concentrating, delusional and illusory ideas, as well as changes in behavior.
Delirium syndrome can occur in people of all ages, but tends to be most common in older adults and patients in hospitals or other health care settings.
The causes of delirium syndrome can be various, including infections, intoxication, hypoxia, heart and vascular diseases, as well as other conditions that can lead to disruption of brain function.
Symptoms of delirium syndrome may include changes in skin color, sleep disturbances, delusions and delusions, restlessness, difficulty navigating space and time, and disturbances in speech and thinking.
Treatment for delirious syndrome depends on the cause of its occurrence. In some cases, such as intoxication, treatment may include cleansing the body of toxins. In other cases, when delirium is caused by an infection or disease, treatment is aimed at eliminating the underlying disease.
As the underlying disease heals, the symptoms of delirious syndrome may gradually disappear. In some cases, however, additional treatment may be required to eliminate the remaining manifestations of the syndrome.
In general, delirium is a serious condition that requires medical intervention and treatment. At the first signs of this condition, it is necessary to seek medical help in order to begin treatment in a timely manner and prevent possible complications.
