#ido24 why we must take #delirium seriously

I'm convinced #catatonia is commoner than we know, often overlooked or misdiagnosed as failure to thrive, delirium, psychosis, etc.

Catatonia awareness is urgently needed among ED, IM, & neuro clinicians b/c they're likely the first ones to see pts with catatonia.
