Catatonic Depression:
Catatonic depression is a severe form of major depressive disorder characterized by prominent motor abnormalities. Individuals may exhibit motoric immobility, excessive purposeless movements, or extreme negativism. This condition can significantly impair daily functioning and is associated with a heightened risk of self-harm. Treatment often involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication (such as antidepressants or electroconvulsive therapy), and supportive interventions to address both the depressive symptoms and the catatonic features. Timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial to alleviate distress and improve overall well-being in individuals with catatonic depression.
