Article Synopsis
  • Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric condition often overlooked in elderly populations, leading to serious complications like urinary retention, which can exacerbate mobility issues and infection risks.
  • The study followed four elderly patients (ages 66-84) with severe depression and catatonia, all showing significant urinary retention at admission.
  • After receiving electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), the patients saw improvements in catatonic symptoms and a dramatic reduction in urinary retention, highlighting ECT's effectiveness in treating both conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • - Niemann-Pick Type-C (NPC) disease can lead to serious neuropsychiatric issues, including catatonia, which doesn't always respond well to standard treatments like antipsychotics.
  • - A patient with adult-type NPC developed catatonia that persisted despite various medications, but improved significantly with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
  • - Combining ECT with lorazepam managed the catatonia, and adding lamotrigine led to full remission for eight months, suggesting lamotrigine's potential benefits in treating recurrent catatonia.
