¨A catatonia ocorre na esquizofrenia e em uma gama de doenças psiquiátricas, como os transtornos do humor e os transtornos conversivos. Em alguns textos a catatonia é definida como uma forma de esquizofrenia marcada por períodos de rigidez, excitação e estupor. A catatonia é um conjunto de distúrbios psicomotores caracterizados por ausência total de reação aos estímulos exteriores, imobilidade, recusa de falar e de se alimentar. Em textos modernos a catotonia é definida como a presença de três ou mais dos seguintes: catalepsia, estupor, agitação não influenciada por estímulos externos, mutismo, negativismo, maneirismos, estereotipias, ¨caretas&, ecolalia e copraxia.A catatonia pode ser dividida em não maligna ou maligna. A maligna se caracteriza pela instabilidade autonômica, exibindo febre elevada, taquicardia e hipertensão, além de ser considerada um subtipo fulminante e rapidamente progressivo. A catatonia é uma situação clínica de emergência que requer tratamento imediato, pois a desidratação e o estupor são complicações importantes e que podem ser fatais. A eletroconvulsoterapia (ECT) é considerada o tratamento mais eficaz para catatonia independente da causa base. ¨
