" Subtypes of Delirium" confused with Schizophrenia, depression and
anxiety ?
"The three subtypes of delirium are hyperactive, hypoactive, and mixed.
Patients with the hyperactive subtype may be agitated, disoriented, and
delusional, and may experience hallucinations. This presentation can be
confused with that of schizophrenia, agitated dementia, or a psychotic
disorder. Patients with the hypoactive subtype of delirium are subdued,
quietly confused, disoriented, and apathetic. Delirium in these
patients may go unrecognized or be confused with depression or
dementia. The mixed subtype is characterized by fluctuations between
the hyperactive and hypoactive subtypes. "

Here is the link with some good information;

The diagnosis is not so clearcut...not black and white...I am certain
many are misdiagnosed...depending on the facts presented.
Do you know a psychiatrist ? (as a friend or patient or other ? )
These can confuse the medical staff...?
