We investigated the demographic characteristics of patients with delirium in the Department of Neuropsychiatry, Tenri Hospital, during the period from August 2003 to July 2004. Twenty-three patients (mean age 69 y.o.) were diagnosed with delirium, which included inpatients in other department wards. Seventeen patients (74%) of them were inpatients and 22 patients (96%) were referred from other departments. Fourteen patients (61%) suffered from tumor as a general medical condition. In order to treat delirium, haloperidol (44%), risperidone (17.5%), tiapride (17.5%) and quetiapine (13%) were used in each patient. Finally, 14 patients (61%) were cured of delirium and 4 patients were died from their physical complications.
