    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Psychomotor status is a neurological condition that can present with symptoms overlapping with psychiatric disorders.
    • Published literature on psychomotor status since 1956 includes 35 reported cases.

    Observation:

    • Four new case histories of psychomotor status are presented.
    • The study reviews available literature on the condition.

    Findings:

    • The actual prevalence of psychomotor status is likely higher than suggested by limited published cases.
    • Many patients with psychomotor status may be misdiagnosed as psychiatric.

    Implications:

    • Neurologic and electroencephalographic examinations are recommended for patients exhibiting acute psychotic behavior and altered consciousness.
    • Increased awareness and diagnostic accuracy for psychomotor status are needed in clinical practice.
