Dehydration Sign #8: Confusion and Irritability
Confusion refers to the state of being unclear or bewildered. In medicine, confusion occurs when there is an inability to place oneself in the world in the right location, time, identity, and there is a loss of orientation. It is also often called delirium and can be seen in disorders such as dementia, anemia, anxiety, brain tumor, concussion, dehydration, depression, brain injury, hypothermia, kidney failure, meningitis, schizophrenia, and stroke.
Irritability is often a term used to describe the tendency for frustration or anger. It is a state that can be easily seen in pressured or stressful situations. Both confusion and irritability are signs of dehydration.
