State of mental confusion (8)

I believe the answer is:

delirium

(Other definitions for delirium that I've seen before include "Disturbed state of mind - excitement" , "Extreme mental disturbance" , "Disturbed state of mind during a fever" , "Wild enthusiasm" , "Disordered state of mind due to fever" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
