Catatonia | Psychology Today
I have a relative with this.... yes they can think but not like many people normally think. when my relative has this he thinks but he cant communicate what he is thinking. you ever hear that saying dont sit there like a bump on a log... well thats what its like he sits unmoving and unable to respond to anything, not even when someone tells a joke or makes a strange bordering on obscene gesture (my relative has quite a x rated sense of humor and even this wont get any responses of any kind from him). his thoughts are more internalized related to hallucinations and delusional things. one time he said while in this state of mind we all looked like different colored aliens out to do what aliens do.
my suggestion if you think you are or someone you know is catatonic contact yours or a treatment provider who can help.
