Question

Delirium was one of the first psychological disorders to be recognized and described over 2,500 years ago. Why might this be the case

Answer 1

Delirium is a serious disturbance in mental capabilities that results in muddled thinking and reduced awareness of the environment. The onset of delirium is usually rapid — within hours or a few days.

Where did delirium come from?

The word Delirium was first utilized in medical writing by Celsus in the first century AD (2.8; 3.16) to express (either as a symptom or as a syndrome) mental conditions during fever or head trauma (Celsus 2.7). More Celsus used the term phrenitis as an option to Delirium.

Delirium can be triggered by a serious medical disease such as an infection, specific medications, and other reasons, such as drug withdrawal or intoxication.
