Catatonia with Psychosis in an 8-Year-Old Child: A Case Report and a Literature Review.

Objective: We present a narrative review of pediatric catatonia and a case report illustrating the complexity of management of psychosis in a child with catatonia.

Method: The literature search used the text terms pediatric, catatonia, and antipsychotics and the search engines PubMed and EBSCO. All references from peer-reviewed journals were reviewed for treatment strategies specific to management in children who are also psychotic.
