    Delirium can be caused by a number of factors, including but not limited to: infections, recent surgery, starting or increasing the dose of certain medications, not eating well or drinking enough water.

    Sometimes, delirium is misdiagnosed as dementia or depression. It can often be prevented or treated.

    CCSMH has developed best-practice clinical guidelines to support health care professionals when working with older adults who are experiencing delirium.
