What is Catatonic Schizophrenia in Pregnancy about?

This case report discusses a 24-year-old pregnant Nigerian woman diagnosed with persistent catatonic schizophrenia, highlighting the challenges and treatment approaches. Initial treatments with benzodiazepines and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) were ineffective, but a combination of ECT with low-dose antipsychotic augmentation ultimately resolved her symptoms. The report emphasizes the cautious use of antipsychotics alongside ECT as a viable treatment strategy for catatonia during pregnancy.
