What Is Catatonic Schizophrenia?
5. Stupor
Stupor is a condition in which the patient is close to being unconscious. They can sit or lay in positions for hours on end in a state where they are awake, but are not moving or reacting with anything around them. Another potential symptom is catalepsy, which means that the patient goes into a seizure or trance, and their body can become rigid.
Waxy flexibility is another potential symptom of the condition. This means that somebody else can move the patient’s body into different positions, and the patient will remain in that position. The patient will appear to be unaware that their body is being moved at all.
