Delirium is a serious condition that can cause mental confusion and reduce someone’s ability to be aware of their surroundings. Delirium occurs when signals in the brain are impaired. This impairment can be caused by a combination of factors and can affect someone in as little as a few hours. In this episode of the DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie learns from St. Joseph's Health Care London geriatrician Dr. Alishya Burrell the causes of delirium, what signs to look for and what treatments are available.
