Article Synopsis
- Catatonia is often confused with delirium due to overlapping symptoms, and this study aimed to investigate their comorbidity in patients diagnosed with delirium.
- A total of 120 patients were assessed, revealing that 26% had both catatonia and delirium, while 55% only had delirium.
- Lorazepam was tested on patients with catatonia/delirium, showing a low response rate in the combined group, but a higher positive response rate in those diagnosed with catatonia alone (60%).
