Some individuals who have catatonic schizophrenia will deal with stereotypy as a symptom. This symptom refers to repetitive movements or postures that occur for no apparent reason. The movements that patients may perform include marching in place, crossing and uncrossing their legs, and rocking their body back and forth. Of course, this symptom alone is not enough for individuals to be diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia, or another form of the disorder. This is, in part, because stereotypy is often seen in other conditions. Examples include autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, tardive dyskinesia, and some movement disorders.
