It may be the disease but it may also be the medicine. An elderly family friend had to go the hospital. After a day there, he became combative, paranoid (he thought that he owned the place but that it was a hotel and the staff were trying to kill him) and extremely agitated. He had none of those symptoms before he was admitted. Turns out it was the meds - but don't know which ones were given. The staff was ready to send him to the psychiatric ward but one of his family members fortunately realized it was the meds. Read the side effect list carefully!
