R41.0: Disorientation, unspecified
You cannot orient yourself properly.
To be able to find your way around properly, you should know what time you are in and where you are. You should also provide information about yourself and your current situation.
In your case, one or more of these abilities is impaired. There are many reasons for this. The brain may be damaged, for example. It may also be that certain substances in the blood are no longer in normal equilibrium.
