Catatonic schizophrenia can cause peculiar behaviors such as:
- Sitting or standing in unusual positions (posturing).
- Allowing another person to move your arms and legs into different positions (waxy flexibility).
- Sitting without moving for long periods of time (stupor).
- Having episodes of being extremely active but with no purpose (catatonic excitement).
