Confusion or disorientation
Confusion or disorientation means a person has trouble thinking clearly, knowing where they are, what time it is, or recognising familiar people. It can come on suddenly or develop gradually. Sudden confusion (delirium) is often a medical emergency, while gradual onset may suggest dementia or metabolic issues.
