I was reading this link on PC. It says there are these definitions but I don't see them. Is it me or is this an error? Catatonia Here is a brief but comprehensive definitionof Catatonia and catatonic features - which may be present in bipolar disorder - schizoaffective disorder - or schizophrenia. There is no definition. Paranoia Found here is a brief but comprehensive definition of paranoia - which may be present in bipolar disorder or schizophrenia as well as several other mental illnesses. There is no definition. |

![]() ![]() Here's one for you: Catatonia is a disturbance of motor behavior that can have either a psychological or neurological cause. Its most well-known form involves a rigid, immobile position that is held by a person for a considerable length of time— often days, weeks, or longer. It can also refer to agitated, purposeless motor activity that is not stimulated by something in the environment. A less extreme form of catatonia involves very slowed motor activity. Often, the physical posture of a catatonic individual is unusual and/or inappropriate, and the individual may hold a posture if placed in it by someone else. According to the handbook used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, 4th Edition, Text Revision, also known as the DSM-IV-TR, some 5–9% of all psychiatric inpatients show some catatonic symptoms. Of these, 25–50% are associated with mood disorders, 10–15% are associated with schizophrenia, and the remainder are associated with other mental disorders. And another: Paranoia is an exaggerated distrust of others that is not based on fact. As a psychotic feature of bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia, paranoia may manifest as delusions of persecution.
