Psychopharmacology of Catatonia: A Tour D’horizon

Abstract

Since its first inception by Kahlbaum in relation to schizophrenia, Catatonia syndrome is currently believed to cut across many neuropsychiatric diagnoses. In this focussed review, authors touch briefly on prevalence of catatonia in psychiatric presentations, discuss clinical diagnosis, neurobiology, typology, and conclude with a psychopharmacological algorithm to treatment.
