Excited delirium is a serious medical condition that can occur in people from either substance abuse or psychiatric illness and it can cause the body to stop

True
False
Situational
Not relevant in the security field

The correct answer is: True

Excited delirium is indeed a serious medical condition that can be caused by substance abuse or psychiatric illness. It's characterized by severe agitation and combativeness, overheating, and exceptional strength, among other symptoms. What makes it particularly dangerous is the fact that it can indeed cause the body to suddenly stop operating, leading to a "critical mechanism failure" such as heart attack or respiratory failure. So yes, this condition can indeed cause the body to stop, as stated in the choice A, which makes it true. This condition is especially relevant for security personnel since they may come across individuals experiencing excited delirium and would need to recognize the signs and provide or seek appropriate assistance.
