Core Tip	Catatonia in older people is underrecognized and undertreated, as demonstrated by the scarce bibliography published in this age group, in which the prevalence is high and the etiology usually multifactorial. Catatonia can frequently present together with delirium. General medical conditions and neurological disorders have a very important role in its etiology. Older people could have a higher risk of developing catatonia in bipolar disorder, the general hospital and with benzodiazepine (BZD) withdrawal. Also, they have a higher risk of developing complications secondary to this condition. BZDs and electroconvulsive therapy have been proven to be safe and effective symptomatic treatments, but the correct identification and treatment of the etiology are crucial for a full recovery.
