Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Waxy flexibility is a feature of catatonic schizophrenia in which individuals hold a posture or position into which they are placed by another person, even if it is uncomfortable or awkward. This is different from stupor, which is a lack of movement or responsiveness, and mutism, which is a lack of speech. Hypomania is a feature of bipolar disorder, not schizophrenia.
