​What we do, What You can Do

Delirium is a common and potentially serious medical condition that can affect the elderly, the frail, the sick, the cognitively impaired - but more generally: everyone - given "stressing" events.

​These may include - among others - infections, operations, change in  or withdrawal  from  medication, sensory deprivation  or even simply removal from one's familiar environment such as hospitalization.

Delirium is a state of acute confusion.

What we do?
​​The European Delirium Association is a professional association providing a platform  for practitioners,  researchers, policy makers and other interested to network for the benefit of patients.
Our goal is to move forward with all those dedicated to delirium  care and research, joining efforts to  promote the disorder's visibility  not only in the general public, but also in the medical professional setting.

What you can do?
​Join us in this endeavour, by:

• becoming a member of the EDA
  
• coming to our yearly meetings and presenting your work
• commit yourself locally
