Treatment then focuses on creating the best setting for healing the body and calming the brain. That may include stopping certain medicines, treating an infection or treating an imbalance in the body. The first goal of delirium treatment is to address any causes or triggers. Brain-imaging tests may be used when a diagnosis can't be made with other information. The health care provider may order blood, urine and other tests. This can help determine if a stroke or another disease is causing the delirium. A neurological exam checks vision, balance, coordination and reflexes. A physical exam checks for signs of health problems or disease. Information from family members or caregivers can be helpful. Or it may be done with tests or screenings. This may be done by talking with the person. The provider starts by testing awareness, attention and thinking. Is there a new infection? Did the person begin a new medicine? Was there an injury or new pain such as chest pain? Did headaches or weakness occur? Did the person use alcohol or a legal or illegal drug? The provider will ask what changed in the last few days. The provider also will consider factors that may have caused the disorder. A health care provider can diagnose delirium based on medical history and tests of mental status.
