Noticed being in a catatonic state after an head injury
human
my godson suffered a head injury whilst in a domestic violent relationship his wife hit him on the head with a fire extenquisher! He suffered depression then had a catatonic episode lasting 2 hours. My friend (his mother is beside herself with worry) he was put into Auckland mental health hospital has now been released and wants to go flatting? Is this safe? also he is not taking this serious as he cannot remember going catatonic! How can we get him ( anaru) to realise that this is serious. Also does a stressful enviorment make it worse for him. He does not get on with his step father.. regards Lynne

HiThanks for using healthcare magicI think, he may have become unconscious after head injury rather than went into catatonic state. Catatonia is a psychotic state and that take long time for improvement. You can take him to a physician and get his CT head done. That would help to rule out any underline serious head injury. Thanks
