Abstract
ABSTRACTThe catatonic schizophrenia is an uncommon sub-type of schizophrenia, which demonstrates clinical signs such as catalepsy or stupor, posturing of voluntary movements, excessive negativism, mutism, mannerism, stereotypical movements such as echolalia and echopraxia. Atypical antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, ECT, and NMDA antagonists are reported to be effective in treatment of catatonic schizophrenia; however knowledge about the effective treatment of catatonic schizophrenia is still limited. In the present article, we have reported the case of a patient diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia who was treated effectively with aripiprazole in a short period of time.
