Dr. Jonathan Rogers, PhD MRCP MRCPsych studied Medicine at the University of Cambridge before undertaking training in Psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital in London. He has recently finished a PhD on the epidemiology and neuropsychiatry of catatonia at University College London. His current research focusses on catatonia, psychopharmacology, movement disorders and neuroimmunology. Clinically, he provides neuropsychiatry input to the encephalitis team at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
Objectives:
The activity is designed to help the learner:
1. Explain the descriptive epidemiology of catatonia
2. Assess the value of clinical neuroimaging in the diagnosis of catatonia
3. Analyze electroencephalography (EEG) results in the context of catatonia
Summary:
Catatonia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder, consisting of impairments in the initiation and termination of movement, speech and complex behavior. In this lecture, we will examine the descriptive epidemiology of catatonia (including its incidence, recurrence rate and demographics). We will then discuss the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG.)
