Autism And Deliruim: A Case Study
Introduction
People’s lives are changed as disorders invade their families and take control. People become the victim to the disorders barreled with weighing medical contradictions, ridden with medical bills and left only with the explanation that there is no discrimination and that disorders choose its victims are only by chance. Disorders are often biologically genetic and leave little chance for their targets. A common neurodevelopmental disorder in society is Autism, which is a genetically endured disorder derived by three chomosomes on the 21 string of the DNA transformation. An additional disorder that has surprisingly plagued our society is a neurocognitive disorder Delirium, a disorder that is like the enemy hiding in the grass awaiting attack on its target it creeps up quick and rapidly. In this paper each disorder, Autism and Deliruim, will be explained by their behavioral criteria, the incidence rates and causes for each disorder, and options for treatment for each …show more content…
Estimates of prevalence of delirium among adults in the general population somewhere between 10 and 51 percent of patients who have had surgery will experience delirium. Patients that have had cardiac surgery are especially at high risk (Butcher, 2014). When delirium is present it is not a prognostic sign and is correlated with cognitive decline. Death is the outcome in 25 percent of elderly patients diagnosed with delirium within six months (Butcher, 2014). Patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, or are in a terminal state, and had undergone surgery for bone marrow transplantation and other surgical procedures are at increased risk of delirium. A high toxicity from medications can be a result and may be a main reason why the elderly are highly affected by
