    AbstractManagement of a delirious or acutely psychotic patient calls for rapid but well-considered decision making by the treating physician. Clear diagnostic thinking is vitally important in making a presumptive diagnosis and forming a treatment plan. Appropriate treatment usually returns patients to a less agitated state and allows for definitive treatment of any underlying illness.
