During catatonia, we went from a child who never sat still to a child who could take 10 minutes just to walk from one side of our house to the other. I remember telling doctors, “He’s moving slower than my 80-year-old grandmother,” but at the time, it felt like those words fell on deaf ears. Then came Mother’s Day — sitting in the ER with my 11-year-old who could no longer walk without assistance. He couldn’t even get out of my car on his own. That was the moment everything became undeniable. Th

One of the more confusing and frightening symptoms we saw during Connor’s catatonia was the change in his swallowing. Months before hospitalization, his intake of both fluids and food slowly declined. Something as simple as eating one protein bar could take 45 minutes, and drinking became just as difficult. We searched everywhere for answers. Before inpatient, we saw multiple ENT specialists and even completed an upper scope. While inpatient, he underwent a formal swallow study. All results were

One of the lesser-known features of catatonia is difficulty crossing doorways or moving between spaces — something called motor initiation impairment. In catatonia, brain circuits involving the basal ganglia, frontal lobes, and GABA/dopamine signaling systems are disrupted. These systems help the brain plan, start, and smoothly carry out movement. When they aren’t functioning properly, the body can temporarily “lock,” especially during transitions like stepping over a threshold, changing floorin
