Editing Catatonia (section)

==== Neurological disorders ====
Catatonia can occur due to a number of neurological conditions. For instance, certain types of [[encephalitis]] can cause catatonia. Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a form of autoimmune encephalitis which is known to cause catatonia in some people. Additionally, encephalitis has been reported to cause catatonia in people who have encephalitis due to [[HIV]] and [[herpes simplex virus]] (HSV). The research is limited, but some evidence suggests that people can develop catatonia after traumatic brain injury without a primary psychiatric disorder.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Berthelot |first1=Jessica |last2=Cambre |first2=Jacob |last3=Erwin |first3=Madeline |last4=Phan |first4=Jennifer |date=2024-03-06 |editor-last=Inada |editor-first=Toshiya |title=Catatonia as a Result of a Traumatic Brain Injury |journal=Case Reports in Psychiatry |language=en |volume=2024 |pages=1–3 |doi=10.1155/2024/5184741 |doi-access=free |issn=2090-6838 |pmc=10937075 |pmid=38482162}}</ref> Similarly, there are several case reports suggesting that people have experienced catatonia after a stroke, with some people having catatonia-associated symptoms that were unexplainable by their stroke itself, and which improved after treatment with [[benzodiazepine]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Koprucki |first1=Shawna |last2=Morcos |first2=Roy |date=2024-09-18 |title=Acute Catatonia Following a Cerebellar Stroke: A Case Report |journal=Cureus |volume=16 |issue=9 |pages=e69645 |language=en |doi=10.7759/cureus.69645 |doi-access=free |issn=2168-8184 |pmc=11488475 |pmid=39429282}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hasan |first1=H. |last2=Abdo |first2=M. |last3=Rabei |first3=S. |date=March 2023 |title=Post Cerebrovascular Stroke Catatonic Psychosis: A Case Report |journal=European Psychiatry |language=en |volume=66 |issue=S1 |pages=S1058 |doi=10.1192/j.eurpsy.2023.2245 |issn=0924-9338 |pmc=10479261}}</ref> [[Parkinson's disease]] can cause catatonia for some people by impairing their ability to produce and secrete [[dopamine]], a neurotransmitter which is thought to contribute to motor dysfunction in people with catatonia.
