My mum turned 70, she had her 5 bottom teeth taken out. She went mad, they said it was low sodium causing delirium. Sodium levels fine for 2 weeks yet delirium worse and terrible. I mean screaming that demons are coming, feeling fire. Even when shes not full blown she is deluded that me or others are killing her, then saying she is fine and needs to go home
Shes on anti psychotic and not much better.
Shes in hospital, NHS . She sometimes feels like shes a queen or invincible.
She was well beforehand
