About this episode

In recognition of Stress Awareness Week, the NEI Podcast revisits a vital conversation with Dr. Joan Striebel about the syndrome of catatonia—a condition that can emerge from profound psychological or physiological stress. Dr. Andy Cutler and Dr. Striebel discuss its dynamic presentation, the importance of treating underlying causes, and why clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion when evaluating complex or unexplained psychiatric symptoms. This re-release highlights key insights to help clinicians recognize and manage catatonia more effectively in practice.
