Meaning, no brain damage. They heard bad news and went into a coma. There is a name for it and I cant remember it nor can I find it.

  1. catatonic


  2. Conversion reaction.

    It can seem like a coma, but doesn't meet the medical criteria for one.

  3. Come on now, Hollywood is just around the corner! There is no psychological trauma which causes a coma, only a temporary condition called Amnesia. The person can be catatonic but not comatose.
