Timothy Lee

Timothy Lee, Loma Linda's Residency Program Director, delves into understanding delirium and its psychiatric implications. He distinguishes between hyperactive and hypoactive delirium, highlighting how symptoms like agitation and confusion can mislead families into thinking of schizophrenia. The discussion extends to the impact of simple infections, especially in the elderly, and the challenges in diagnosing related cognitive issues. Lee emphasizes the importance of careful medication management and tailored recovery strategies for affected patients.
