Disorganized or Abnormal Motor Behavior

This category of symptoms involves a range of unusual movements and actions. Examples include becoming excessively active, displaying silly or childlike behaviors like giggling, making odd facial expressions and gestures, or engaging in repetitive, purposeless movements. In some instances, these behaviors can manifest as catatonia, which is characterized by a reduced response to the surrounding environment.
