Stupor - konmei (English spelling)

Japanese: 昏迷 - こんめい（英語表記）stupor

A state in which the mind and body do not express themselves and do not respond to external stimuli. Consciousness is not impaired in cases of schizophrenia, depression, and psychogenic reactions, but it is in cases of epilepsy and organic encephalopathy. Only cases without impaired consciousness, such as the former, are called stupor, while the latter are sometimes called benumbness. Many experts in the United States and the United Kingdom do not distinguish between the two. Also, cases with impaired consciousness are often included in confusion.

Japanese:

心身ともに自己表現をせず，外部刺激にも反応しない状態。統合失調症，うつ病，心因反応の場合は意識障害を伴わないが，てんかんや器質性脳症の場合には伴う。前者のように意識障害を伴わない場合だけを昏迷と呼び，後者は昏蒙 (こんもう) benumbnessと呼ぶことがある。アメリカ，イギリスでは両者を分けない専門家が多い。また，特に意識障害を伴う場合には錯乱 confusionのなかに含めることが多い。
