Since a hospital stay in 2015, I suffered from delirium. Delirium is very highly undiagnosed. Why do I not hear about it here?

Hi @lgpierson, Several members of the ICU group have talked about experiences with delirium in both the intro discussion and the discussion titled "Delirium". Here are the direct links:
- Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) - Let's talk https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/post-intensive-care-syndrome-pics-lets-talk/
- Delirium https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/delirium/

lgpierson, as you probably know, ICU delirium is a sudden, intense confusion that can include hallucinations, confusion, and paranoia. Do you experience ongoing symptoms since your ICU stay?
