DISTURBED MIND AND DELIRIUM

Image
     Restlessness, incoherence, illusions and an acutely disturbed state of mind is known as Delirium. Reduced awareness of environment and confused thinking are serious mental abilities which are the results of Delirium . Severity of this often varies over a short period of time.

Though reason behind this remains mystery this earlier puberty really affects their life mentally and physically.in addition to this they are affected by other psychological problems such as antisocial behaviours which results in the mind set of rule-breaking and delinquency.
