Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delirium is often associated with a deficiency in thiamine, which is a B vitamin that plays a role in energy production and brain function. This is particularly common among alcoholics who may not be getting enough thiamine in their diet and may also have impaired thiamine absorption due to gastrointestinal issues related to alcohol abuse. While other vitamin deficiencies can cause neurological symptoms, they are less commonly associated with delirium.
