Catatonia and Delirium in a General Medical Setting: Prevalence and Naturalistic Treatment Outcome
These data provide further evidence that catatonia coexists with delirium, and may respond to lorazepam. We found a bimodal distribution in the number of catatonic signs, suggesting catatonia may be a distinct syndrome among medical patients. Our results suggest that prospective treatment studies are warranted.
