Answer 2

I think this statement is FALSE  because anyone can become emotionally or mentally confused. A prolonged state of delirium can be called dementia and its not true because dementia affects people who are under the age 65 even though is uncommon.

The actual differences between dementia and delirium are dementia develops over time, with a slow progression of cognitive decline and delirium occurs abruptly, and symptoms can fluctuate during the day. Often, a  person with dementia develop delirium while hospitalized.
