What are the perceptual changes that occur during acute attacks?
Perceptual disturbances may include misinterpretations, illusions, or
hallucinations.
For example, the patient may see the nurse mixing intravenous solutions and
conclude the nurse is trying to poison him or her (misinterpretation); the folds
of the bedclothes may appear to be animate objects (illusion); or the patient
may see a group of people around the bed when no one is actually there
(hallucination).
Although visual misperceptions and hallucinations are most common in delirium,
auditory, tactile, gustatory, and olfactory misperceptions or hallucinations can
also occur. Misperceptions range from simple and uniform to highly complex. A
patient with delirium may have a delusional conviction of the reality of a
hallucination and exhibit emotional and behavioral responses consistent with the
hallucination's content.
