🧠 D E L I R I U M ! 🧠
Huge association between delirium & risk of future dementia.
But not usually listed as a risk factor - the dementia scientific community needs to catch up.

Delrium is more than just confusion. It's a serious medical condition that can affect thinking, attention, and awareness, especially in hospitalized patients.
As we approach World Delirium Awareness Day on March 12, let's raise awareness and improve care!

🧠 #Delirium treatment is complex.
🧠 Need systematic approach
🧠 Much more than just 'treating the cause'
