Talk:Psychomotor retardation

Comment
"a reduction of physical movements in an individual." This needs to be clearified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.238.84.23 (talk) 12:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Catatonia?
I am not an expert on mental health, so I did not want to add something I was not sure was correct, but would it be appropriate to add catatonia as a "related" article? -- Jprg1966  (talk)  15:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

would this include slowed gait?

Sources for examples?
Searching for this term in journal articles and in the sources seem to imply that it's only a slowing of individual physical movements (as opposed to decreased ability to carry out daily activities, though that would certainly be related). The examples given in the body of the article seem to be something else entirely. Can we get a source for each example? 72.174.158.241 (talk) 00:23, 24 February 2016 (UTC)


 * You're right, the examples given in the examples section of the article are not representative of psychomotor retardation. I was a mental health nurse and I experience psychomotor retardation due to depression, and it's about the slowness of movement, not daily activities. There can absolutely be functional impairment secondary to that, but reduced ability to carry out activities of daily living is not what characterizes psychomotor retardation. I can try to work on some new examples based on solid sources, but regardless, I think the examples that are currently listed should be removed. CrimsonBlueberry (talk) 00:32, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
