What are the five types of Delirium?
1. Delirium Due to General Medical Condition
2. Substance Intoxication Delirium
3. Substance Withdrawal Delirium
4. Delirium Due to Multiple Etiologies
5. Delirium NOS
What are Diagnostic Criteria for Delirium Due to General Medical Condition?
A. Disturbance of consciousness with reduced ability to focus, sustain, or shift attention.

B. A change in cognition (such as memory deficit, disorientation, language disturbance) or the development of a perceptual disturbance that is not better accounted for by a preexisting, established, or evolving dementia.

C. The disturbance develops over a short period of time (usually hours to days) and tends to fluctuate during the course of the day.

D. There is evidence the disturbance is caused by a general medical condition.
What are the Diagnostic Criteria for Substance Intoxication Delirium?
A. Disturbance of consciousness with reduced ability to focus, sustain, or shift attention.

B. A change in cognition (such as memory deficit, disorientation, language disturbance) or the development of a perceptual disturbance that is not better accounted for by a preexisting, established, or evolving dementia.

C. The disturbance develops over a short period of time (usually hours to days) and tends to fluctuate during the course of the day.

D. There is evidence of either (1) or (2):
(1) the symptoms developed during Substance Intoxication
(2) medication use is etiologically related to the disturbance

Note: This diagnosis should be made instead of a diagnosis of Substance Intoxication only when the cognitive symptoms are in excess of those usually associated with the intoxication syndrome and when the symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant independent clinical attention.

Code [Specific Substance] Intoxication Delirium:
Alcohol; Amphetamine [or Amphetamine-Like Substance]; Cannabis; Cocaine; Hallucinogen; Inhalant; Opioid; Phencyclidine [or Phencyclidine-Like Substance]; Sedative, Hypnotic, or Anxiolytic; Other [or Unknown] Substance
What are the Diagnostic Criteria for Substance Withdrawal Delirium?
A. Disturbance of consciousness (i.e., reduced clarity of awareness of the environment) with reduced ability to focus, sustain, or shift attention.

B. A change in cognition (such as memory deficit, disorientation, language disturbance) or the development of a perceptual disturbance that is not better accounted for by a preexisting, established, or evolving dementia.

C. The disturbance develops over a short period of time (usually hours to days) and tends to fluctuate during the course of the day.

D. Symptoms developed during, or shortly after, a withdrawal syndrome.

Note: This diagnosis should be made instead of a diagnosis of Substance Withdrawal only when the cognitive symptoms are in excess of those usually associated with the withdrawal syndrome and when the symptoms are sufficiently severe to warrant independent clinical attention.

Code [Specific Substance] Withdrawal Delirium:
Alcohol; Sedative, Hypnotic, or Anxiolytic; Other [or Unknown] Substance
What are the Diagnostic Criteria for Delirium Due Multiple Etiologies?
A. Disturbance of consciousness (i.e., reduced clarity of awareness of the environment) with reduced ability to focus, sustain, or shift attention.

B. A change in cognition (such as memory deficit, disorientation, language disturbance) or the development of a perceptual disturbance that is not better accounted for by a preexisting, established, or evolving dementia.

C. The disturbance develops over a short period of time (usually hours to days) and tends to fluctuate during the course of the day.
