Catatony refers to a state of unresponsiveness and immobility where an individual may remain motionless and unengaged for prolonged periods. There are several synonyms for catatonia that can be used to describe the same condition, including catalepsy, freezing, stupor, and immobility. Other synonyms include rigidity, trance, cataleptic state, and motor inhibition. Each of these terms describes a state where an individual's body and mind are not functioning as they should, resulting in a state of inactivity and disengagement. While some synonyms may be more commonly used than others, they all refer to the same underlying condition of lost agency and engagement.
