Abstract:
Delirious mania (D.M.), which is described as an advancement of delirium in a patient with acute mania, is related to the high morbidity and mortality rate. Despite the high occurrence of delirium (15-20%) in bipolar disorder, D.M. is frequently misdiagnosed. D.M. is not classified as a DSM diagnosis, and no treatment guidelines exist.
