Objective: The phenotypes of several psychiatric conditions can very closely resemble delirium; the authors describe such presentations as pseudodelirium. However, because the clinical management of these conditions differs markedly from that of delirium, prompt differentiation is essential. The authors provide an educational review to assist clinicians in identifying and managing psychiatric conditions that may be especially challenging to differentiate from delirium.

We wish to report two cases which illustrate a subtype of bipolar affective disorder and suggest that it should be termed Manic Pseudo-Delirium (MP-D) as it incorporates features of both mania and delirium. This will facilitate consistent recognition and characterization since mania remains the primary diagnosis and delirium is not thought to co-exist with functional psychoses. Extensive investigations were done to exclude underlying medical causes for the delirium.

It is suggested that the term "pseudodelirium" may alert clinicians to this possibility, and facilitate the earlier diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illness.
