Although created before the two met, the character Delirium from Gaiman's The Sandman series ( or even her sister Death ) is inspired by Amos ; Gaiman has stated that they " steal shamelessly from each other ".

Delirium is frequent, frequently calm, but sometimes agitated.

Delirium is characterized by a sudden onset, fluctuating course, a short duration ( often lasting from hours to weeks ), and is primarily related to a somatic ( or medical ) disturbance.

Desire refuses to join the search so Delirium goes to the mirrored realm of Despair, where again, her request is turned down.

Dream and Delirium find their way to the temple of Orpheus, where Dream ’ s conversation with Orpheus is not shown.

Dream requests the removal of the dog, Barnabas, but is denied by Delirium.

Delirium just wants her brother back ; she is reliant on her siblings for support, particularly her elder brothers.

This is manifested in his deliberate attempt to subvert his own essential nature and create instead of destroy ; he is shown at various points writing indifferent poetry, painting an indifferent picture, cooking a meal left untouched by those for whom it was intended, and brewing Greek coffee which Delirium fails to drink properly.

He reappears in the Sandman sequel Endless Nights, in the story Destruction-On the Peninsula, where he is shown guiding and babysitting Delirium after a mental breakdown, and assisting in the excavation of a site that contains relics from a possible future.

Desire sometimes acts in concert with Despair and Delirium ; the relationship is not clear, however, and Desire is much more distant from its siblings than Despair or Delirium.

She is less distanced from the family than Desire, though, and seems to have some feeling at least for Delirium, and also seems to miss Destruction so much that she is able to manipulate Dream into feeling guilty over Destruction's abadoning of his duty.

Delirium, known to the Greek culture as Mania, is the youngest of the Endless, yet still older than the rest of existence.

Delirium is quick to anger when treated rudely, such as driving a police officer insane for chastising her reckless driving, to threatening to curse Mazikeen into being a half-faced demon madly in love with her boss.

Dream in turn regarded his sister as a nusiance, however, the events of Brief Lives change their relationship, as he admits that he likes Delirium and is upset when she is unhappy.

One of the most striking frames of the whole series features Delirium lying on a hotel bed with a bottle of bubble-blowing liquid, blowing bubbles in a variety of impossible shapes-diamonds, crosses, cats, and what appears to be Totoro from the Japanese animated feature My Neighbor Totoro ( this is probably a visual joke on the part of artist Jill Thompson ).

Due to Dream's distress at this revelation, Delirium is forced to collect herself so much that her usual mis-matched appearance disappears, and she becomes a very symmetrical creature, reflecting Destruction's words that the Endless can reflect two aspects ( in Delirium's case order / sanity ).

* Delirium may be distinguished from psychosis, in which consciousness and cognition may not be impaired ( however, there may be overlap, as some acute psychosis, especially with mania, is capable of producing delirium-like states ).

* Delirium is distinguished from dementia ( chronic organic brain syndrome ) which describes an " acquired " ( non-congenital ) and usually irreversible cognitive and psychosocial decline in function.

* Delirium is distinguished from depression.

Destruction then prepares to leave them by dismantling his gallery, taking his sword and pool and giving his dog Barnabas the responsibility of looking after Delirium.

* The Little Endless Storybook ( 2001 ): A one-shot comic / story book which depicts the Endless as toddlers and follows Delirium's dog Barnabas as he attempts to find the missing Delirium, written and illustrated by Jill Thompson.

Delirium may be caused by a disease process outside the brain that affects the brain, such as infection ( urinary tract infection, pneumonia ) or drug effects, particularly anticholinergics or other CNS depressants ( benzodiazepines and opioids ).

) Delirium must by definition be caused by an organic process, i. e., a physically identifiable structural, functional, or chemical problem in the brain ( see organic brain syndrome ), and thus, fluctuations of mentation due to changes in purely psychiatric processes or diseases, such as sudden psychosis from schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, are ( by definition ) not termed delirium.

Delirium may be of a hyperactive variety manifested by ' positive ' symptoms of agitation or combativeness, or it may be of a hypoactive variety ( often referred to as ' quiet ' delirium ) manifested by ' negative ' symptoms such as inability to converse or focus attention or follow commands.

Delirium may be caused by physical illness, which can be mild, or any process which interferes with the normal metabolism or function of the brain.

The highest prevalence of delirium ( often 50 % to 75 % of patients ) is generally seen in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit or ICU ( which used to be referred to by the misnomers " ICU psychosis " or " ICU syndrome ", terms largely abandoned for the more widely accepted and scientifically supported term ICU Delirium ).
