Introduction

I have chosen to conduct my "personal project" for Abnormal Child Psychopathology on the presentation and treatment for children displaying signs of delirium.

As described by Medicinenet.com delirium is "A sudden state of severe confusion and rapid changes in brain function, sometimes associated with hallucinations and hyperactivity, in which the patient is inaccessible by normal contact" (Medicine net, inc., 2003). My goal is not only to help you better understand delirium but to define and increase awareness about the causes of delirium in children, and potential treatment options.

I Plan to give you a brief critique on each link, and a short summary of the information that will be provided to you.
