Catatonia is common in adult inpatient settings, where 6%–15% meet diagnostic criteria. In children and adolescents, prevalence estimates vary more widely, from 0.6% to 17%, perhaps because catatonia is often misdiagnosed or unrecognized. Like delirium, catatonia occurs as part of many conditions, including psychosis, mood disorders, substance use, autistic spectrum disorder, and medical conditions.
