AB  - The study investigates the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and implications 
      of catatonic symptoms in mania. Sixty-one inpatients with DSM-III-R bipolar 
      disorder (BD), manic or mixed episode, established by the Structured Clinical 
      Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID) were assessed for the presence of catatonic by a 
      21-item rating scale. Nineteen patients fulfilled criteria for catatonic mania, 
      exhibiting between five and 16 catatonic symptoms. Catatonic manics had more 
      mixed episodes, more severe manic symptoms, more general psychopathology, a 
      higher prevalence of comorbidity, a longer hospitalization, and lower Global 
      Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores than the noncatatonics. The results 
      indicate that catatonic symptoms are a marker of a more severe course and outcome 
      in mania.
