Catatonic stupor

A catatonic stupor is a motionless or apathetic state in which one remains oblivious to external stimuli. Motor activity is limited to near non-existent. Individuals avoid bathing and grooming, make little or no eye contact with others, may be mute and rigid, and initiate no social behaviors. This condition is a feature of catatonia. Catatonia is considered a subtype of schizophrenia.
