DESCRIPTION:Catatonia remains a very enigmatic neuropsychiatric disorder. 
 Probably\, its own conception is confusing\, victim of a problematic histo
 ry. Initially conceptualised as an independent clinical entity\, catatonia
  was quickly amalgamated with schizophrenia in the central European tradit
 ion initiated by Kraepelin and Bleuler and confined there. Later\, it has 
 been associated to affective disorders\, mostly by the Anglo-Saxon school 
 (Adams et al). But more recently\, it has been associated to several psych
 iatric and non-psychiatric disorders. In 2022\, the ICD-11 (in February) a
 nd DMS-5-TR (in June) have updated their criteria and views on catatonia. 
 In this lecture\, and the take home message\, I will first define catatoni
 a as if it were a distinct entity\, to illustrate the clinical phenomena i
 n catatonia\, to later expand to catatonia as a syndrome\, with its differ
 ent causes. We will then move into the epidemiology\, pathophysiology and 
 treatment of catatonia.
