The essence of catatonia symptoms are: movement disorders, mutism, negativ­ism, waxy flexibility, stereotypical move­ment, impulsive actions, duality, and paramimics. It is a psychosis that affects movement and speech. Lethal catatonia is a life-threatening psychiatric syn­drome which is very difficult to differenti­ate because of prevailing somatic and neurological symptoms and still remains a very difficult question in psychiatry. The outcome depends on rapid detection and complete treatment.
