- Demonstration of how to conduct an examination for catatonia, showing some important clinical signs. For more information, see our catatonia website at www.ucl.ac.uk/....
For our large study on catatonia epidemiology and inflammatory markers, see the open access article at doi.org/10.101....
Physical pain can be horrible but I believe the mind can inflict worse pain. I worked 22 years in psychairtric centers as a therapy aide because I felt a strong urge to help. I know it did because I saw a note left by a patient on her night stand and it said she hoped that I was working that day along with another worker because we made her feel happy. (She was missing and we were searching for any clue as to where she went-not being nosy-she came back) That one note stuck with me because you never know what effect you have on others.
💛
That is a noble thing to do. Truly admirable.
I ended up here because of curiosity, and it's something I wasn't aware before. Thank you for the demonstration. I hope aside from kindness and compassion there are further ways to help people in such situations.
I remember seeing a Catatonic patient when I was in a Psych Hospital rotation in nursing school in the 1960’s. The woman was on top of a table in the most uncomfortable, odd and twisted looking position of her body and she stayed that way for hours not moving at all.
I love the patience of this man.. subduing trust and his overall love for the individual…You can see he wants to help and learn at the same time…
This is so heartbreaking. It’s like being a prisoner in one’s own body. Everyone with this is in my prayers.
“Being a prisoner in one’s own body” this is true of those who are deep within the autism spectrum also. Very sad.
Being a prisoner in one’s own body is an accurate description of every living conscious entity.
@@dg8708 not the same.
Can they think normally? Do they perceive the world as you or I? Or are they in an altered state of being?
This is not real. No one has all these problems and behaviours all in one person... 😂 It's an actor demonstrating many different mental disorder things.
you handle her very well. when you put her hand down you touched her hand with care, like she is at a good place. well done that maybe felt reassuring to her.
This is literally heartbreaking. It makes me cry.
They can go like this for up to a year
@@NicholasFrancoeur-tt7ed even with treatment???
Being stuck in this state of mind can be really scary, this happened to me and I dont even know how to explain how I felt.
Thank you its helpful for my residency in psychiatry 🙂
Thank you. Simple, easy-to-remember exam. Appreciate this .
Thank you for this demonstration. I remember teaching Psychology 30 some years ago and I had to explain some of the more serious psychological disorders to my students. However, since in those days there were no videos to demonstrate these conditions even to teachers, I had a difficult time envisioning what they entailed.
I have autistic catatonia.. it’s like a regression of major skills including motor skills (fine & gross), a slow progressive regression of skills until you can reach this full blown catatonic state.
I believe I’ve reached this state after a seizure. Then lost all skills and went full catatonic too that day ..
I had one other full blown catatonic episode but I had thought and understood my surroundings but couldn’t soeak or do what they asked and was trapped in my body doing all the typical things.., so maybe not 100% full 🤷♀️
That day it kept coming on and off, until they gave me Ativan.
Now I’m in a constant regressed state of autism regression and have to be very careful to protect my sensory stimuli (I have sensory processing disorder), I can’t talk in any form, even text, to people for too long, the language processing overloads me then I suddenly without warning shutdown and need help b4 it gets catatonic again.
I can’t basically do much and I lost many many skills (self care, I drop things, am clumsy, dizzy etc etc and I’m always borderline, like it’s ok and then not ok .. and then very not ok.
It’s very scary cos there’s no real cure 🙃🙃🙃
Yes it does cures brain fog and your trapped in your mind and you cant think properly it's so scary to be trapped in that state of mind I was stuck like that for 2 weeks and they bought me out of that state with the medication called larazapam now I've been on it 4 3 years and if I stop it I go back in to that state so worrying about the doctor stopping my perception you dont drink or eat like that you stray to talk but you cant... hope this helps
What does is the cause of this state? Is it trauma? Is it brain damage? It it stress? I can't image how awful this must feel 😭
I would always like to know what causes it ?my 16 year old nephew was just diagnosed with this few days ago he did had a big trauma in his life but he also had smoked Cannabis , so we are not sure what Exactly caused it. He didn’t eat for like a whole week strares stiff arms stiff fingers crawled in 🥺 he was such a smart happy young boy that loved baseball social media his family & friends, this is breaking our heart 😢 he was send to the hospital They have to give him Ativan three times a day but he refuses it he refuses to eat any food .. is larazapam the same Ativan . Please if you can respond. Thank you 🙏🏼
@@patriciamontalbo4492 if you mean lorazepam, then yes it is the same.
Lorazepam = Ativan
I hope things get better. 🙏
@@danag5610 thank you for replying. No unfortunately things have gotten worse he refuses to take the medicine he’s lost 30 pounds. We Brang him to a hospital but then that’s when he started talking saying he didn’t belong there that he was going to take he’s medicine and he so my sister took him out and now he’s back and refuses to take the meds he needs and not eating. My sister he hopeless she doesn’t know what to do 🥺
@@patriciamontalbo4492 hi, this happened to me too after smoking a lot of cannabis. its a trigger. it is exactly like the first comment describes, you are lost in thought. at the end when she moved her own arms for me when i could it felt like i woke up to immediately fall again deep in my thoughts and i freeze.
Excelente material, gracias!
This is amazing never seen this before. How the mind reactions.
I got into a similar state when I accidentally had an overdose of cannabis oil. Was terrible, I struggled to process.
Thanks you!!
I ended up here because my doctor brought it up when I get quiet and cant move or talk. Idk how to explain it. I am thinking but its hard to interact. Inside, Im telling myself to get up and move, but i cant.
The Pre-Therapy of Garry Prouty is a great method for the treatment of catatonia.
I no what was happening but couldn't move or I would come round but be trapped stud up without falling but I was blacked out
God bless You and World
As has been mentioned this lady might have just been co-opted to act the part of someone with this issue - I don't think so though.
If she is a real sufferer then a little more possibly needed to be done in providing assurance and looking to use 'communication switches' to help the patient to start the mentall process to choose to exit from this state.
A patient I dealt with when I was just a nursing assistant was in this state and saying absolutely nothing. He was however listening and taking in my conversation. Taking an interest in the patient and offering continued assistance, even if this is to be then next day, is more important than piling on drug treatment.
The gentleman I dealt with was, at some level by mental effort, remaining in this mentally locked state. This was regardless of the amount of drugs given to force the mind to lose its own control. Not wanting to merely leave him to think he was alone in resolving his situation but unsure if he was even comorehending my conversation with him, I explained that I would continue to come and talk to him but I could not spend too much of my time just chatting about things - life, ways of thinking, possible issues or just how I saw different things - so I would stop talking now and go and help people who responded to what I said, whether they agreed disagreed or wanted to add their perspective.
He had been on an ever increasing dose on medication for about a week, within about 24 hours of this clarification of my and his role in his recovery he unlocked his own MIND. It is another aside to discuss dealing with the fact that simultaneously his drugged BRAIN was also unlocked; he was nearly bouncing off the walls!
Trust this provides insight to a challenging field.
This is just a demo read the description, it's acting
No mention of that in description.
@@snowdog03 read the description again, the very first word is Demonstration
@@charlotteriddle7303 That doesn't mean she doesn't have it. Only that it demonstrates.
@jonathanpeterrogers would be good to inform watchers that this is a demo with an actress.
To me this person is in a hypnotic state of mind. Have you tried to break the hypnotic state of mind?
I have this
I smoked a lot of weed and this happened to me
I’m so sorry to hear Sofia, if it’s any consolation me too 💖
Doesn't a person with cataonia ever get tired of being in the same position for long periods of time?
Yes but we can't move when it happens
Does this cause brain fog as well? Do they feel trapped?
@rambunctiousvegetable thanks for sharing i knew i had a catatonic attack yet i could not remember some things, it felt like i constantly fell into a dream and then woke up. i was conscious but not really so i was confused, because from what i read it says the people are conscious.
@rambunctiousvegetable thank you. yesterday i had my first attack and i don't know if it will reoccur. thanks for the information i will think about it
@rambunctiousvegetable When I was in third grade my friends went on a school trip somewhere. I wasn't mentally present with them I wasn't social. They all left the classroom and then I turned off the lights and shut the door and then I was sitting still like a statue I didn't even move my finger, I went on like this for 9 hours while the slight noises amplified inside my ears like a plastic cup fell, the air conditioner, the sound of my chair legs, even the sound of my head, I loved the quiet so much and I am afraid of sounds. To the point that I can't study because of the annoying sound of the air conditioner and the hot environment. I don't move much yet, I have a fear of everything normal and people call me crazy like moving, the sun, the hot weather, socialising, Noisy and public sound, any noises, The voice of people talking, even the neighbors if I hear them talking I feel depressed. I haven't talked to my siblings for three years. I like talking to myself.
@@intelligentsia9493 um are you okay?
Sir I used benzodizepins tablets xanax Alphrazolem Drugs means medicine Sir I understand the pain because I am serfering from GAD generalized anxiety disorders and sever Depression and Asthma too RMD Rythmic movement Disorders ET Essential Tremors which no purpose of my life my life stuck in 2021 August that doctor diagnosed me with GAD. I am half mental person I Am patient in my whole life I understand and mental challenge person I am mentally unstable no purpose of my life.
My prayers brother
Try listening to Alan Watts on TH-cam. Helped me a lot. My world changed. Good luck
I think the best for panic is Klonopin.
I had panic attacks and took lots of different drugs for it. None stopped the panic attacks. But I then saw an allergist who saw I was allergic to milk. When I stopped eating milk products I stopped having panic attacks--ever. That was 23 years ago. Food allergies may not be the main cause of all anxiety disorders, but they are certainly worth checking out.
oh yeah and the doctor is a perfect person, right
What gender is it?
Yep went full catatonic after severe panic attack in front of doctors then they restrained me almost broke my own jaw because everything locked up. Terrible. This is from trauma
the best
Heartbreaking 😢
Rare to see so many signs in one patient.
😂 This is not real and that is an actor. 😂
Any way he is faking this?
This is like apaty.Is in block.
This was a real patient? Looked pretty real. (Got a thumb up on this one, not sure though what a real one would look or sound like, but this was very peculiar sounding to me).
Thank you for educating us but to be honest, "Did she give consent for this to be taped and so publicly distributed" was the only thing I could think of during the entire video, so perhaps making that known at the very beginning could be helpful for viewers like me so we don't feel so intrusive and distracted by such discomfort. I hope she didn't suffer inwardly with panic attacks as I've heard some people might during catatonic episodes. Wish her all the best
Why do you have to trick people and to not make it clear that this is not real...?
She seems so depressed…
Sad
they are actors i reckon
Antipsychotics do this to patients. The drugs are like cement in the brain.
Stuck in a freeze state like a possum
Metadon mefadron
That’s not catatonia. Catatonics do not move, do not respond, and very, very firmly lock frozen in place.
Um lorazepam is a anti anxiety SSI that would make a person even less responsive billy Donnelly
Your actually wrong lorazepam is a benzo like Xanax and valium

Psychedelics, as we all know, are very queer things: some parts are presented with appalling vividness, with details
worked up with the elaborate finish of jewellery, while others one gallops through, as it were, without noticing
them at all, as, for instance, through space and time. Psychedelics seem to be spurred on not by reason but by desire,
not by the head but by the heart, and yet what complicated tricks my reason has played sometimes in psychedelics,
what utterly incomprehensible things happen to it!
Must be nice she’s just acting,
Basically, my perfect girlfriend
You again buang.
Pure girl😢. Hope you can help her....💔
She clocked you enter the room...the rest is an act.
