Welcome
Catatonia is a medical syndrome that “cuts across” traditional divisions of disorders as psychiatric, medical, or neurological.
It is surprisingly common in milder forms, and often more difficult to recognize than the patient shown above in the textbook from a century ago who demonstrates the classic “posturing” seen in catatonia.
This Catatonia Forum Blog and Catatonia Information Center website have been developed to expand the awareness and knowledge about this unusual syndrome, to afford improved recognition and treatment for patients suffering from this condition which can become chronic.
