ICD-11 code : L1-6A4;
Preferred Label : Catatonia;
ICD-11 definition : Catatonia is a syndrome of primarily psychomotor disturbances, characterized by the
co-occurrence of several symptoms of decreased, increased, or abnormal psychomotor
activity. The assessment of catatonia is complex and requires observation, interview
and physical exam. Catatonia can occur in the context of another mental disorder,
such as Schizophrenia or Other Primary Psychotic Disorders, Mood Disorders, and Neurodevelopmental
Disorders, especially Autism Spectrum Disorder. Catatonia can also develop during
or soon after intoxication or withdrawal from certain psychoactive substances, including
phencyclidine (PCP), cannabis, hallucinogens such as mescaline or LSD, cocaine and
MDMA or related drugs, or during the use of certain psychoactive and non-psychoactive
medications (e.g. antipsychotic medications, benzodiazepines, steroids, disulfiram,
ciprofloxacin). Finally, Catatonia can occur as a direct pathophysiological consequence
of a medical condition not classified under Mental, Behavioural or Neurodevelopmental
Disorders. Examples of medical conditions that may be associated with Catatonia include
diabetic ketoacidosis, hypercalcemia, hepatic encephalopathy, homocystinuria, neoplasms
head trauma, cerebrovascular disease, and encephalitis.;
