To be honest, is seems more likely the 'delirium' is actually mild psychosis brought on by excess dopamine in the PDF in particular. Many Parkinson's medicines treat some of the cognitive deficits it can cause with stuff like L-Dopa and other 'pro dopamine' drugs. Given the brain is progressively becoming more 'dysfunctional', some abnormal brain functionality + excess synaptic dopamine is probably psychosis waiting to happen.
However, I'd personal take the intermittent low level psychosis any day if it meant retaining my brain, retaining 'me', for just a bit longer.
Also yeah, as stated elsewhere: Parkinson's + anti-psychotic meds == dangerous and egregious medical malpractice. Anti-psychotics are basically an anti-cute for Parkinson's, given the generally work by attenuating dopamine prevalence in various synaptic clefts.
