Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in memory, thinking, behavior and the ability to perform everyday activities. Delirium is a serious disturbance in mental abilities that results in confused thinking and reduced awareness of the environment. There are differences between dementia and delirium. Dementia develops over time, with a slow progression of cognitive decline. Delirium occurs abruptly, and symptoms can fluctuate during the day. The hallmark separating delirium from underlying dementia is inattention. The individual simply cannot focus on one idea or task. Delirium is different from dementia, but they have similar symptoms, such as confusion, agitation and delusions. If a person has these symptoms, it can be hard for healthcare professionals who don’t know them to tell whether delirium or dementia is the cause.
