Catatonia in patients with dementia: A descriptive study of clinical profiles and treatment response

Investigating the mechanisms underlying this resistance and the variability in treatment response is crucial for developing more precise therapeutic strategies.PMID:38564875 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajp.2024.104033
