Catatonia

This video illustrates several forms of catatonia including waxy flexibility, forced grasping, opposition, negativism and aversion. This is intended to provide open access to teaching materials which, whilst originally designed for medical students, are hopefully of use for everyone interested in learning about psychiatry. It derives from the Newcastle University course and teaching resource (mbbs-psychiatry.ncl.ac.uk/) The videos all use role players to portray patients.
