Use of ECT in hysterical catatonia. A case report and discussion

PD Dabholkar
Suman-Clinic, Maharashtra, India.

Catatonia is now accepted as a non-specific syndrome. Hysteria can very rarely be a cause. A case of hysterical catatonia developing twice in a year, and on both occasions responding to ECT, is presented. Initial diagnostic difficulties, and use of the sodium pentothal interview as a diagnostic test, are also described.
