Plural of catatonia; multiple instances or cases of the psychiatric condition characterized by muscle rigidity, immobility, and often inability to speak.
The plural form of 'catatonia,' from Greek 'kata' (down) + 'tonos' (tension). The '-as' ending creates the plural form.
When psychiatrists began carefully documenting different types of catatonia, they discovered that some patients were catatonic because of medical causes like brain infections, not mental illness—treating the infection cured the catatonia completely.
