Catatonia is commonly encountered in psychiatric and medical practice but is under-recognized. It occurs in association with a wide range of disorders and drugs. Psychiatric education and textbooks mistakenly only consider catatonia as a subtype of schizophrenia. This article, the first of two, reviews the development of the concept of catatonia, its epidemiology, clinical features and pathophysiology.
紧张症在精神科和医学实践中很常见，但却未得到充分认识。它与多种疾病和药物有关。精神科教育和教科书错误地仅将紧张症视为精神分裂症的一种亚型。本文是系列两篇文章中的第一篇，回顾了紧张症概念的发展、流行病学、临床特征和病理生理学。
