PSA: #Haloperidol is not a sedative.

Yes, it calms hyperarousal, including agitation, but that's different from directly causing sedation.

It has very little activity at H1, 5-HT2A, or M1 receptors.

💡 #Catatonia awareness among internists & neurologists (plus those in ED medicine) is crucial.

My takeaway: "The low participation rate & high attrition, despite widespread affirmation of catatonia’s importance to their specialty, may reflect attitudes about catatonia."

ICD-11 continues to advance the diagnostic construct of #catatonia.

📍 Catatonia is promoted to its own dx section
📍 No more #delirium exclusion
📍 New substance-induced catatonia dx
