Abstract
Catatonia is very rare in children and adolescents, seen in only 0.6% of the inpatient population. High-dose benzodiazepines are the first-line therapy for catatonia. However, there is limited research on alternative therapies for patients who fail to respond to high-dose benzodiazepines. The objective of this study is to review the available literature on the treatment of catatonia in children and adolescents and explore potential augmentation strategies.
