[quote=Anonymous]My 79yo father was hospitalized after a car accident and developed delirium while in the ICU. He developed behavior similar to what you described, was definitely out of his mind. It was very difficult for us to see him like this, and he was scared and paranoid. For him, it was a matter of putting him on the correct psychiatric medication. I forget which med eventually worked but it wasn't the first one they tried. The doctors told me it was quite common for ICU patients. I think he was hospitalized for about 3 weeks and then discharged to a nursing home for PT rehab before going home. [/quote]
