Disorientation is a state of confusion where an individual struggles to understand their surroundings, time, or identity. It can occur due to various factors, including fatigue, illness, or psychological conditions. People experiencing disorientation may find it difficult to recognize familiar places or faces, leading to feelings of anxiety or distress. This condition can be temporary or chronic, depending on its cause. For instance, dementia and delirium are medical conditions that often result in disorientation. Treatment typically focuses on addressing the underlying issue, which may involve medical intervention, therapy, or environmental adjustments to enhance clarity and comfort.
