  • Title: Electroconvulsive Therapy for Catatonia in Children and Adolescents.
    Author: Dhossche DM, Withane N.
    Journal: Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am; 2019 Jan; 28(1):111-120. PubMed ID: 30389071.
    Abstract:
    Catatonia may be more common in children and adolescents than previously thought. A boost for the recognition of pediatric catatonia comes from changes in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, facilitating the diagnosis in a wide range of pediatric and adult patients with associated developmental and autistic spectrum disorders; and schizophrenic, affective, and medical disorders. The current status, assessment, and treatment of pediatric catatonia are described. Two case vignettes illustrate diagnostic assessment and treatment. Theories modeling the mechanism of catatonia are reviewed, including a vagal theory.
