Discovered that catatonia is the name of a very severe psychosis-type psychiatric illness when I was looking for something completely unrelated to any form of psychiatry on wikipedia.org, one of the world's greatest websites, a fountain of knowledge. Wikipedia's article lists Syd Barrett as an example of a famous person with this condition. There's been so much talk about which illnesses Syd may or may not actually have had.
