Educational Objectives
  Through a case-based approach, including a video demonstration of relevant procedures, this module provides learners with a comprehensive overview of catatonia. We aim to equip current and future healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills to accurately::

1. Identify common physical findings and symptoms of catatonia
2. Generate differential diagnoses for altered mental status
3. Understand the epidemiology and pathophysiology of catatonia
4. Recognize a standardized tool to rate severity of catatonia
5. Describe the management of catatonia
