Acute Confusional States, often referred to as delirium, are sudden episodes of confusion and disorientation. These states can occur due to various factors, including infections, medications, or substance withdrawal. Symptoms may include difficulty concentrating, altered awareness, and fluctuating levels of consciousness. This condition is typically temporary and can affect individuals of all ages, though it is more common in the elderly. Treatment focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause, which may involve medical intervention or supportive care. Early recognition and management are crucial for recovery and preventing complications.
