The drug being given, haloperidol, is induced to the patient with delirium in order to decrease agitation. Delirium can affect the state of mind of a person by resulting to hallucinations and many more. in fact, the drug being administered is a drug used for schizophrenic people or people affected with Torette's syndrome.
