Word salad
A word salad, or schizophasia, is a "confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases", most often used to describe a symptom of a neurological or mental disorder. The term schizophasia is used in particular to describe the confused language that may be evident in schizophrenia. The words may or may not be grammatically correct, but are semantically confused to the point that the listener cannot extract any meaning from them.
Syndrome confusionnel (délirium)
Le syndrome confusionnel, confusion mentale ou état confusionnel, comprend un ensemble de troubles des fonctions supérieures, et correspond à une atteinte aiguë et globale des fonctions mentales, se caractérisant essentiellement par un trouble de la conscience. Lorsqu'un onirisme peut lui être associé, on parle alors de syndrome confuso-onirique. Dans les pays anglophones il peut encore être appelé « encéphalopathie métabolique » ou .
Trouble de la personnalité schizotypique
Le trouble de la personnalité schizotypique (TPS), ou simplement trouble schizotypique, est un trouble de la personnalité caractérisé par une anxiété sociale importante, de la paranoïa, un besoin d'isolement social, accompagné de pensées ou de comportements tels les maniérismes vocaux, un style vestimentaire atypique, ou encore des délires. Les personnes ayant ce trouble peuvent se sentir extrêmement mal à l'aise dans une relation intime ou proche, principalement pour le fait de croire que leurs pairs ont des pensées négatives à leur égard.
Intrusive thought
An intrusive thought is an unwelcome, involuntary thought, image, or unpleasant idea that may become an obsession, is upsetting or distressing, and can feel difficult to manage or eliminate. When such thoughts are associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Tourettes syndrome (TS), depression, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and sometimes attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the thoughts may become paralyzing, anxiety-provoking, or persistent.
Psychose toxique amphétaminique
Stimulant psychosis is a mental disorder characterized by psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations, paranoid ideation, delusions, disorganized thinking, grossly disorganized behaviour). It involves and typically occurs following an overdose or several day 'binge' on psychostimulants; however, one study reported occurrences at regularly prescribed doses in approximately 0.1% of individuals within the first several weeks after starting amphetamine or methylphenidate therapy.
Schizophrénie hébéphrénique
La schizophrénie hébéphrénique, ou hébéphrénie, est une forme de schizophrénie. Cette affection psychique caractérise une forme de schizophrénie touchant des sujets jeunes, avec une absence apparente de délire paranoïde et la présence d'un syndrome dissociatif menant rapidement à un retrait social. Elle évolue généralement vers un appauvrissement cognitif et relationnel. Le traitement passe par la psychothérapie (individuelle et/ou institutionnelle) et la médication, bien que l'affection puisse se montrer résistante au traitement par neuroleptiques.
Derailment (thought disorder)
NOTOC In psychiatry, derailment (aka loosening of association, asyndesis, asyndetic thinking, knight's move thinking, entgleisen, disorganised thinking) categorises any speech that sequences of unrelated or barely related ideas compose; the topic often changes from one sentence to another. In a mild manifestation, this thought disorder is characterized by slippage of ideas further and further from the point of a discussion. Derailment can often be manifestly caused by intense emotions such as euphoria or hysteria.
Thought blocking
Thought blocking is a neuropsychological symptom expressing a sudden and involuntary silence within a speech, and eventually an abrupt switch to another topic. Persons undergoing thought blocking may utter incomprehensible speech; they may also repeat words involuntarily or make up new words. The main causes of thought blocking are schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, petit mal seizures, post-traumatic stress disorder, bradyphrenia, aphasia, dementia and delirium.
Pressure of speech
Pressure of speech (or pressured speech) is a speech fast and frenetic (i.e. mainly without pauses), including some irregularities in loudness and rhythm or some degrees of circumstantiality; it is hard to interpret and expresses a (generally non-apparent) feeling/affect of emergency. It is mainly a neuropsychological symptom of specific mental disorders, like bipolar disorders, thought disorders, stress-related disorders, etc. – see below. Pressured speech is unrelenting, rapid, often loud talking without pauses.
Tangential speech
Tangential speech or tangentiality is a communication disorder in which the train of thought of the speaker wanders and shows a lack of focus, never returning to the initial topic of the conversation. It tends to occur in situations where a person is experiencing high anxiety, as a manifestation of the psychosis known as schizophrenia, in dementia or in states of delirium. It is less severe than logorrhea and may be associated with the middle stage in dementia.
