What is "delirium"?
Delirium describes a state of intense and uncontrolled excitement or enthusiasm that causes someone to say or do things that may seem irrational or unpredictable. It is like being caught up in a mix of emotions or energy, where thoughts and actions become scattered and unpredictable. People experiencing delirium may act impulsively or recklessly, caused by their heightened emotions or excitement. This state can be temporary and may occur in response to certain triggers or situations.
