I have read an interesting article recently published in your
journal regarding the Turkish adaptation, validity and
reliability study of the Bush Francis Catatonia Rating scale
(BFCRS) and the Katatonia, Autism, Neuropsychiatric
and Neuromovement Examination Rating (KANNER)
Scale (Erdoğan et al. 2023). The article delighted me as
catatonia is, in my opinion, the most fascinating syndrome
of neuropsychiatry, if not of entire medicine. Catatonia needs
further and deeper studies. I feel these scales and others such
as Northoff Catatonia Scale (NCS) need to be adapted all
around the world. Only then clinicians and researchers will
be able to collaborate closer in better and stronger studies.
