In this episode, I introduce a diagnosis that is not a diagnosis. By that, I mean that it is a condition that we may find our patients in, but it is not considered to be a diagnosis by itself, like major depressive disorder or schizophrenia are considered to be diagnoses. I am talking about catatonia, a condition characterized by either a lack of interaction with the world or as purposeless interaction with the world.Please leave feedback at https://www.psydactic.com or send any comments to feedback@psydactic.com.References and readings (when available) are posted at the end of each episode transcript, located at psydactic.buzzsprout.com.
