You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm you can watch all the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend lately :)
My mother started showing strong symptoms of Delirium when she was on a long 13 hours light with me where cabin light were dim and she already had poor vision which increased her symptoms. After 5 hours, she started showing sign of it. We had no clue what it is. At the 9 hours, she had developed very strong symptoms, being disoriented and stuck in things that happened years ago, as well as having hallucination. What might have trigger it for her, apart from dark cabin, is she was having constipation issue for the past 4 days and being on the plane made it worse because she was not used to 'go' in the tiny plain toilet. We did take her to toilet 4 times but she only peed and her problem was no resolved. Having seen this excellent video, which fits my case perfectly, I am sharing my problem so other can learn from it. Many thanks!
I had absolutely no idea constipation could be a key contributing factor with delerium. I almost don't believe it. It just sounds like such an odd connection. How old was your mother when this happened? If you don't mind me asking.
@@terrapinflyer273 She was 75 and not very mobile because of diabetes and vision issues. I shared the above so no one has to go through this. I hope this helps someone. To be clear, she came with me on the same flight some 7 years prior, and she had no problem WHATSOEVER, in fact she was totally fresh after the long flight, I could not guess this could happen. This is instilled in my brain forever.
I know I'm commenting two years after the release of this video, but this channel helps out so much when I need to quickly understand the basics of something for school work, take notes or get facts for a project, etc. This video is 2 years old, and still helping people out
Absolutely amazing explanation and very helpful. My fiance's mum has delirium from hip replacement and this really helped confirm our thoughts along the various stages of confusion she has had and take the right actions. Amazing how common it is but how low awareness is of the stages and signs
My 70 year old wife got all excited about a project for our business & worked for 16 hours on the proposal & couldn't settle down, then I noticed over the past 2 days she's been sleeping about 16 or more hours a day! She gets up & is excited then she's back in bed sleeping again. It's out of the ordinary for her so I'm worried she's got symptoms of delirium, bouncing back & forth between both types, hypo & hyper.
I’m dealing with episodes of this at only 34 from 30 years of immunosuppressants and autoimmune conditions. My labs and temperature never show I’m dealing with any type of infection. I suddenly have altered mental status and then come back from it after antibiotics therapy, but it’s like having to relearn myself rapidly every time.
My mom had knee replacement surgery a month ago. The day after I couldn't wake her up completely, called 911. I thought she had a stroke, then wondered if she took much med's, neither of those were the case. We had never heard of this "ghost disease" and what a shocker it was. It lasted 3-4 days of really bad reactions and combative with everyone, have thoughts of stuff that just wasn't happening. She wouldn't eat for me, thought I was poisoning her, wouldn't drink, wasn't sleeping much and just got over a UTI. After 4 days of this I was told about Delirium and went to the internet to research....Woweee what a thing it was. I want to know why EVERY doctor, hospital, nurse, surgeon anesthesiologist doesn't tell you before hand. They give you all the instructions for before during and after your hospital stay, but not one mention of this disease. It should be the first page as far as I am concerned. They tell you how important it is to rest well, eat well, drink plenty of fluids and how to take care of yourself, but they don't tell you what could happen if you don't. What the signs or symptoms mean when they are happening, how scary it is to watch and not know what it is. Anyone over the age of 65 has a much higher risk of an episode, and if you don't know anything about this or never heard of it to begin with,,,,It' really scary. Knowledge is the most important key. If anything looks off, call your doctor whether they patient wants you to or not. Primary caregivers are the first responders to see this coming on, so be alert know the phone numbers for the doctors and hospitals involved and call them ASAP.
I went to rehab twice for drugs and went into delirium for about 2 weeks. It is the worst thing ever. I didn’t know where I was at all and the mind makes up things and places itself and you have no control over it at all. I didn’t know why this happened but after watching this video I understand it better. I still remember the hallucinations and it’s unbelievable what I went through.
My dad is having delirium because of alcohol withdrawal. He had went to rehab too before but this is the first time he has shown severe alcohol syndrome like this. I am so worried for him and I am scared if he will come back to normal. He's 53 years old. We had taken him to hospital yesterday and Dr have prescribed some medicine but he's not sleeping at all and his bp is high. Seeing your comment makes me hopeful that he too will be normal soon. 🙏🏻
My dad currently going through the delirium phase. I was severely worried and thought it would lead him to Dementia but after seeing your video I gained some confidence. He was also a diabetic patient and underwent a angioplasty years ago. Recently he was developed with Typhoid fever and suddenly started behaving with memory loss, agitation and having slurred speech. I don't have any idea what affected him. But after seeing your video I gained confidence. Thank you so much... Much love from India
Hi, how is your father doing now, has he recovered? can you tell me🙏, my grandfather underwent major surgery 3 days ago and was admitted to ICU/HCU, and today he is acting strange and sometimes hallucinating. How many days does it take to return to normal?
My Dad had a delirium while admitted to a psycho geriatric assessment unit where he voluntarily went to challenge his driver’s license. His anxiety leading up to and while in the unit shifted his ability to perform BADLs even eat. Amazingly, although he did poorly on his testing compared to 2 months prior, in this state, he was still able to communicate his thoughts. Due to lack of collateral information, the treatment given was Rivistigmine which he had adverse delerium reactions to in the first week of starting that drug. They were (1-8% of patients experience these a/e). Restlessness-up all night, delusions and aggression. These symptoms were totally missed by nursing staff and not communicated even though they were alerted and he had a history of similar a/e from aricept. He also suffered severe GI effects that went disregarded. Baseline collateral information is key. Listening to the patient is even more key.
Thanks for the practical consideration of a complex state such as Delirium. Useful background to consider with my newly-old 95yo mother. Trying to distinguish her personality traits from some dementia and/or delerium is giving me immense worry. This has helped my understanding of recent positive professional intervention, but also my mother's risks. Thanks, from an ex acute adult RMN now with my mother close by in a specialist Nursing Home, suddenly, without clear medical diagnosis of traumatic brain injury or dementia. My mother appears to have unconsciously manouvered (an oxymoron!) herself into 24-hr care from her prolonged somatic anxiety!
Thank you so much for all your videos, especially the psychiatry part, they help me in a lot of ways plus, the topics that I see as boring in class are usually discussed here in an easy and enjoyable way. I owe most of my understanding to your videos especially for the major subjects of medschool. Thank you so much! :)

Happened to me with both forms and I’ve had a lot happen to me in my life but weeks of this left me in so much terror I don’t think you could pay me any amount of money even with the guarantee of survival to go through it again. There were various subjects but 1 of the worst was I thought I was back in a psychiatric ward of which I was in when I was 16 so I assumed that I was again and I thought I had ripped the skin above my top lip under my nose off which I later found out was the feeding tube I pulled out and the nurses were all people i went to school with and they were calling me a monster and I remember thinking every visitor to ICU must think the same. After regaining control of my mind to actually realise that I had suffered multiple organ failure due to acute pancreatitis caused by an unknown infection it still took me about 24 hours later to dare to touch the area that was still gone in my mind and was baffled at why it was there and even asked if I had been given facial reconstruction surgery. 4 and a half years later and I still get flashbacks to it but doctors just dismiss it.
Hours to days? My late father had delirium for 9 months. His best days tended to be after a drug-induced *deep* sleep (helping to perhaps clear the brain of amyloid plaque?), if that helps anyone's thinking on the subject.
@@devilgod136 No I'm sorry. On his penultimate day he was mute and became more violent than usual, actually kicking me for the first time and using his Zimmer frame as a weapon. I gather from the coroner, that the time to call a life-saving ambulance is when the patient first starts breathing rapidly; which the nursing home tragically failed to do.
I also suffer from delirium due to poisoning and infections. For several months, it has improved a little, but I am still suffering and I do not know what to do. What did you do? I hope you get better.
My diagnosis after admission to the Emergency Room a few weeks back was Delirium. I was brought to the E.R. after being given a nasal Narcan dose after a Fentanyl overdose. I think I entered a precipitated withdrawal. I don't remember anything.

Toxic-induced mixed state delirium at age 16, I have never been the same. Sometimes I literally have nightmares about how bad it could be once I'm elderly and therefor already prone to delirium, having both HPPD (lasting hallucinations, permanent) and PTSD from unexpectedly going through those days of mental horror followed by a lengthy institutionalization. Another traumatic feature was the fact that I become extremely confused and aggressive in a drive-thru, with a customer's car window and their child inside.. no recollection at all, literally could have been killed while most likely believing that someone was in danger and in need of help. That's interesting knowledge to live with while continuing to live in this town into adulthood.
Hi, I took a multivitamin for a year and it made me delirious. I stopped taking it 3 and a half months ago. I've gotten a little better, but I'm still struggling now. How long will it last? I read that delirium can last a very long time. I'm scared and don't know what to do. Sometimes I think about suicide. Can you help me?
I fall down cause my psycho caregiver babysitters use to kick me down the stairs- sooooo now in trauma - I can't see the last step. Funny how that works!😈🐝😎🌵🧠
My 9 year old cousin has this every night, he would say "I see ants and sometimes weird things on dream, and be awake for a long time, but when he sleeps it stops, this happened when his mother had to take night shifts, im really worried.
Everything was exactly as it is with us, only everything seemed to have a festive radiance, the splendor of some great, holy triumph Never had I seen on our own earth such beauty in mankind. Only perhaps in our children, in their earliest years, From the first glance at their faces I understood it all All It was the earth untarnished by the fall, on it lived people who had not sinned, I have seen them myself, have known them, I loved them and I suffered for them afterwards A dream my friend, is a….. Delirium hallucination But can one establish paradise? I don’t know Because I do not know how to put it into words And yet how simple it is in one day, in one hour everything could be fixed up at once. The main thing is to love others like yourself, that’s the chief thing, nothing else is wanted

@@devilgod136Hi, how is your mother doing now, has he recovered? can you tell me🙏, my grandfather underwent major surgery 3 days ago and was admitted to ICU/HCU, and today he is acting strange and sometimes hallucinating. How many days does it take to return to normal?
Thanks for the help ❤❤❤
Happy to help! ❤️
Nice work summarizing key info about delirium!
Pretty sure I had this last night as a consequence of my current swine flu. Is that possible?
Great information. I‘s really appreciate links to your information sources. E.g. on second-generation anti-psychotics...

My brother in law was involuntarily committed to a mental hospital a week after his pacemaker surgery and he's only in his early 60s. I think he's been misdiagnosed!!

Awesome video guys, keep on the good job!
Happened to me with both forms and I’ve had a lot happen to me in my life but weeks of this left me in so much terror I don’t think you could pay me any amount of money even with the guarantee of survival to go through it again. There were various subjects but 1 of the worst was I thought I was back in a psychiatric ward of which I was in when I was 16 so I assumed that I was again and I thought I had ripped the skin above my top lip under my nose off which I later found out was the feeding tube I pulled out and the nurses were all people i went to school with and they were calling me a monster and I remember thinking every visitor to ICU must think the same. After regaining control of my mind to actually realise that I had suffered multiple organ failure due to acute pancreatitis caused by an unknown infection it still took me about 24 hours later to dare to touch the area that was still gone in my mind and was baffled at why it was there and even asked if I had been given facial reconstruction surgery. 4 and a half years later and I still get flashbacks to it but doctors just dismiss it.
Great vedio. Thanka for making and uploading it.👍👍👍
Hours to days? My late father had delirium for 9 months.
His best days tended to be after a drug-induced *deep* sleep (helping to perhaps clear the brain of amyloid plaque?), if that helps anyone's thinking on the subject.
Sorry for your loss.
You mentioned 9 months. Did it go away before you lost him?
My mother is experiencing this in hospital.
@@devilgod136 No I'm sorry. On his penultimate day he was mute and became more violent than usual, actually kicking me for the first time and using his Zimmer frame as a weapon.
I gather from the coroner, that the time to call a life-saving ambulance is when the patient first starts breathing rapidly; which the nursing home tragically failed to do.
@@beingsshepherd Sorry to hear that. Must have been brutal for you.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
All the best.
Very nice explaination sir.Thank you.
I'm suffering from this now. And I don't know what to do, I feel that I'm getting worse day by day 😓
I also suffer from delirium due to poisoning and infections. For several months, it has improved a little, but I am still suffering and I do not know what to do. What did you do? I hope you get better.
Are there references listed anywhere?
thank you for your effort ...you make it easy *_*
You're welcome, Salma! 💕
liked the explanation!! keep it up!!
This Is cool and all, but Is there a way to arificially cause it.
My diagnosis after admission to the Emergency Room a few weeks back was Delirium. I was brought to the E.R. after being given a nasal Narcan dose after a Fentanyl overdose.
I think I entered a precipitated withdrawal. I don't remember anything.
Hi. Can I ask? Is it possible for teens (20 y/o) to be diagnosed in dementia? I hope someone can answer this. Thank you.
That's a really good and interesting video, thanks!
my son just has a delirium now.. he woke up running and crying without knowing what he did.
Thank you so much!!! this video helps me a lot!!!
Hi guys, I have your video description and title translated in Italian, and there's a mistake: delirium is not a "delirio", wich in Italian is the delusional productive symptom of psychotic disorders :)
Thank you for the feedback!

What are delirium hallucinations like? Like do you see walls moving?
You guys are awesome 😀👍
thankyou,,,it was so confusing in my text book 👍
This happened to me after throwing up for a week. It's been 7 months since it happened and I'm still having flashbacks from it :/
Toxic-induced mixed state delirium at age 16, I have never been the same. Sometimes I literally have nightmares about how bad it could be once I'm elderly and therefor already prone to delirium, having both HPPD (lasting hallucinations, permanent) and PTSD from unexpectedly going through those days of mental horror followed by a lengthy institutionalization. Another traumatic feature was the fact that I become extremely confused and aggressive in a drive-thru, with a customer's car window and their child inside.. no recollection at all, literally could have been killed while most likely believing that someone was in danger and in need of help. That's interesting knowledge to live with while continuing to live in this town into adulthood.
Hope you’re okay now🙏 your situation is really sad
But you’re in our thoughts now… we will remember you in prayers🙏
excellent presentation
The current heatwave makes me feel delirious 🌞
Hi, I took a multivitamin for a year and it made me delirious. I stopped taking it 3 and a half months ago. I've gotten a little better, but I'm still struggling now. How long will it last? I read that delirium can last a very long time. I'm scared and don't know what to do. Sometimes I think about suicide. Can you help me?
Hey...how are you now
Hey how are you now
I fall down cause my psycho caregiver babysitters use to kick me down the stairs- sooooo now in trauma - I can't see the last step.
Funny how that works!😈🐝😎🌵🧠
My 9 year old cousin has this every night, he would say "I see ants and sometimes weird things on dream, and be awake for a long time, but when he sleeps it stops, this happened when his mother had to take night shifts, im really worried.
well done all around, thanks! wish I would have discovered these long ago
I wish I know that before my psyhosis it's very scary 😐
Everything was exactly as it is with us, only everything seemed to have a festive radiance, the splendor of some great, holy triumph
Never had I seen on our own earth such beauty in mankind. Only perhaps in our children, in their earliest years, From the first glance at their faces I understood it all All It was the earth untarnished by the fall, on it lived people who had not sinned, I have seen them myself, have known them, I loved them and I suffered for them afterwards
A dream my friend, is a….. Delirium hallucination
But can one establish paradise? I don’t know Because I do not know how to put it into words And yet how simple it is in one day, in one hour everything could be fixed up at once. The main thing is to love others like yourself, that’s the chief thing, nothing else is wanted
great video .. keep it up!
My 75 year old cousin was taken off coffee and cigarettes and has been diagnosed with delirium for 3 weeks now
Lovely post
Thank you! 🥰
