cog impairment is integral to the diagnosis of both. aberrant mood may be a part of delirium (but not always so), mood disturbances can occur in dementia also (not integral to diagnosis)

Oops! I'm sorry. I meant to ask that question as a new topic but happened to click on 'post reply'. I'd titled it 'displacement' (hasn't shown up in the post). So, my request was: can somebody please explain 'displacement', (the defence mechanism)?

Displacement is reverting thought/feeling directed towards one person to another person.It is said to run down a hierarchy.For example,if a guy gets yelled at by his boss and is angered by this and takes it out by yelling at his subordinate....not by yelling back at his boss... .That said,it dosnt necessarily imply to anger alone...could be any other emotion too.One thing that I always confused this with somehow was "projection" which actually is seeing one's own emotions/feelings as someone elses's....e.g if a man is cheating on his wife and he blames her for cheating on him instead.Hope this helps!
