Quite a few individuals with catatonic schizophrenia will deal with posturing as a symptom. Posturing refers to holding a specific posture that fights against gravity. Thus, the posture must not be a relaxed one where individuals do not need to think about holding it. In most cases, posturing in this condition is the active maintenance of the posture, meaning that individuals know they are doing it. It is also worth noting that posturing is one of the symptoms of catatonia. This means that it is not a classic symptom of schizophrenia that happens to also be present in catatonic schizophrenia.
