In the following article you will get information about the diagnostic criteria and scoring tools of delirium in the 
intensive care unit (ICU). It gives you an overview of considerations for diagnosis and treatment of delirium, since patients often are misdiagnosed with anxiety and/or other disorder before making correct diagnosis for delirium.
Sections discussed in this journal are such the Clinical Features of Delirium, Three Dominant Types of Delirium (Agitated Delirium, Hypoactive Delirium, and Myxed Subtype), The CAM Diagnostic Algorithm, Nursing Delirium Screening Scale, The Delirium Detection Score (DDS), and The Therapeutic Considerations. All the sections focussed on the objective criteria and scoring system used to identify delirium in the ICU.
