Mannerism in Catatonic Schizophrenia - Day 41 of "100 Symptoms"
Channel: nednednerB the Schizophrenic
Date: 2019-11-09

What are symptoms of agitation and grimacing without apparent reason? Mannerism. It refers to expressive ("manners of") behaviour including exaggerated emotional display and sudden movements.

Catatonic schizophrenia includes symptoms of expression and display of behaviours where the patient seems in some way unaware, less than fully conscious, or automatic. 

People with psychosis experience moments like these all the time. Indeed, the presence and intensity of these traits constitute the practical definition of conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Every individual is unique, but we also share many qualities, traits, and experiences.

Thanks for watching! If you learned something interesting today, double or quadruple the impact by sharing the video on a social media feed with your comment about what you found interesting. What this will accomplish is extending the reach of my effort to raise awareness about schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and bipolar disorders. Thereby, we can also attempt to ease the suffering of the millions of people with psychotic symptoms.
