I am about 2/3rds in and I don't expect my opinion to change. I have read just about everything there is available on catatonia in the last month.

Now... will someone explain GABA-A receptors to me because I never took bio after Gr 11... Anyways... except for the medical lingo and the fact I have to read it with google open on my tablet, it is a good overview on catatonia... even though mine's asd based. It is giving me more questions than answers and one day I may hop the border for that MRI on my kid... chances are even if I beg in a couple of weeks it isn't going to happen.

If you don't have a big city or Univ libraries to get it through interlibrary loan, there is very little in it that is not covered in the few articles you can find online. It's just nicely summerised in this book with each chapter discussing a different "thing" (history, diagnosis, brain programming etc).
