According to the DSM-IV Catatonia can be characterized as having either decreased motor functioning or by having excessive, hyperactive motor excitement which lacks purpose. It most commonly occurs in schizophrenia, but also, can occur in bipolar and depression. It's not an illness on its own.

@evilsoda00 what are you trying to say?

@minim0se its a film not a documentary. View it from another stand point

Sorry guys, it's well made in a sort of music video way, but Catatonia is nothing like this. It looks more like a nervous breakdown or schizophrenic symptoms. It's not very catatonic at all. But still, it's not a symptom, diagnose many people know a lot about, so I guess you'll get away with it easily.

In sufferers of catatonia, motor function decreases and results in immobility. People who suffer from catatonia can hold their body in rigid positions for hours. They aren't shaky or itchy.
