A member asked:
What's going on inside the mind of someone in a catatonic state?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It differs: Catatonia can result from different causes, e.g., severe psychosis or severe depression. The person's mental state can differ accordingly: stuporous, highly confused, utterly hopeless, psychotic, etc. Although motionless and apparently inert, catatonic states can also be high-anxiety, i.e., too terrified to move. It's impossible to know just by looking.
