Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Objective: Pediatric catatonia case report and literature review. Methods: Retrospective chart review and provider consultation. Results: A case of pediatric catatonia is described in the setting of mood and psychotic disorders. Treatment course and outcomes are considered in the context of supporting literature review and discussion. Conclusions: Pediatric catatonia is a debilitating and at times life threatening condition. Pediatric catatonia is historically underdiagnosed and its clinical presentation may differ from more common adult cases of catatonia. Correct identification, acute treatment, and long-term management is key to optimizing prognosis and patient outcomes.
