Doctors For Delirium In Wah Cantt

Delirium meaning in Urdu is "اچانک ذہنی الجھن". It is a serious medical condition in which a person's thinking, attention, and awareness change suddenly. The change happens over hours or a few days, not slowly like dementia. The person may seem confused, unable to focus, restless, or very sleepy.

Delirium is most common in older adults, especially those who are very sick, in hospital, or recovering from surgery. It affects up to half of hospitalized elderly patients. Delirium is not the same as dementia. Dementia develops slowly over months and years, while delirium develops fast. Delirium is usually reversible once the underlying cause is treated.
