Join us for today’s session: We will talk about catatonia and its overlap with OCD, Psychosis, Down Syndrome and Epilepsy! #AACAP2024

What's the connection between catatonia and epilepsy? In this review, we bring together the evidence: https://t.co/coHrthlyv8. @EpilepsyBehavi1 #OpenAccess Here's a summary and a story of how we made this paper 🧵... (1/14)

From @JAMAPediatrics: Tablet use during early childhood may lead to more frequent child expressions of anger and frustration. Over time this could lead to a problematic cycle whereby children who express more anger also engage in more tablet use. https://t.co/6Q3D0SrbdE

First reported case of catatonia in a pediatric patient with MED13L haploinsufficiency syndrome. N=1, but we learned 2 key lessons: 1) if you don’t look, you may miss catatonia in rare genetic disorders 2) ECT is effective, and R/B/A discussion is nuanced. https://t.co/IW15fGGbGi

The Benevolent Childhood Experiences (the opposite of the ACEs) try to capture the positive things in a childhood that can enhance long term outcomes in mental health. Important to evaluate the good things that can happen in a child’s life rather than just the negatives.

When it comes to catatonia: See something, say something! The clinical suspicion can indeed save lives!

Making a diagnosis of catatonia can be a life-or-death issue. 2 cases where hospice referral was considered for patients who subsequently made substantial improvements with ECT: https://t.co/q8kXqOzaP6.

⁦⁩Strong UM presence at ISEN 2024 (and proud mentor moment)! Robust academic program, smart & thoughtful people and stimulating discussions. Great opportunity for the trainees to learn more about ECT, a life saving tx for some of your pts (travel awards are available).⁦

Remember this when your child struggles. By allowing them to fail and try again - as opposed to doing it for them- we build confident kids. By jaozolins on IG

Thanks - whatever you think, whatever you've heard about #ECT Whatever you've seen in films. Don't dismiss #ECT until you've listened to this programme. Listen to the people whose lives have been saved. Listen to the dedicated nurses who administer treatment.

As Faculty of the @BAPsych #child and #adolescent module, we highlighted what in our experience are the common pitfalls in child/adolescent psychopharmacology Part I: #ADHD, #anxiety, #bipolar. #depression, #OCD, #tics https://t.co/DOEwER1Moj

I'm convinced #catatonia is commoner than we know, often overlooked or misdiagnosed as failure to thrive, delirium, psychosis, etc. Catatonia awareness is urgently needed among ED, IM, & neuro clinicians b/c they're likely the first ones to see pts with catatonia.

If you or someone you know has a mental health condition, like #ADHD, use these resources to learn more about the signs & symptoms, and to find treatment and support for yourself, a friend, or a family member ➡️ https://t.co/7gQ5FsjS6i
