Forme dont le caractère essentiel est l'existence de troubles moteurs importants allant souvent d'un extrême à l'autre, de l'hyperkinésie à la stupeur, de l'obéissance automatique au négativisme. Les attitudes imposées peuvent persister pendant de longues périodes : si les membres du patient sont mis dans une position anormale, ils peuvent la conserver pendant un certain temps après la suppression de la force extérieure. Cette forme peut s'accompagner d'une excitation extrême. La concomitance de symptômes dépressifs ou hypomaniaques peut exister. 1, record 2, French, - psychose%20schizophr%C3%A9nique%2C%20forme%20catatonique
