Catatonia is a complex syndrome of motor abnormality, usually landing someone in the state of being a statue. No moving, no talking, and no responding. But it’s more complicated than that. Catatonia has a bunch of symptoms, and can be found in both schizophrenia and affective disorders. Kody and Kit both face catatonia in varying degrees, and different ways too!
