<P>Catatonia is a syndrome of motor dysregulation found in as many as 10% of acutely ill psychiatric in-patients. Treatments are well defined and catatonia has an excellent prognosis when they are used. Two leading neuropsychiatrists describe the features of catatonia; teach the reader how to identify and treat the syndrome successfully; and describe its neurobiology. Patient case histories from the authors' clinical practices, as well as from classical literature, illustrate the principles of diagnosing and treating patients.</P>



<P>Summary: Practical, informative, helpful<BR>Rating: 5</P>

<P>Have not read the entire book, but found and perused excellent selected preview content (significant sections, on another website). Expect to order this book soon. </P>

<P>I am not a physician, clinician, nor mental health professional. </P>

<P>However, due to dire circumstances, I needed good sound practical information about the illness, precipitating factors, metabolic issues, differential diagnosis, neurological and neurochemical aspects. </P>

<P>Found more here than I expected. </P>

<P>It gave me perspective, understanding, and more hope; there is a history of the syndrome in medicine and psychiatry, clinical tables of causes, tests, and treatments, case histories. </P>

<P>While a complex medical condition that is not well understood, there are good treatment options.<BR></P>
