#disordered speech

[neuropathyfordpines]

If you have speech issues due to brain fog or psychosis or schizophrenia spectrum or intellectual disability or aphasia or whatever reason love you forever. We are not stupid, we are not freaks, we are disabled (if you identify that way) and deserve to be normalized. Speak "strange" forever

-schizophrenic with somewhat constant disorganized speech and writing

Hi! I'm wondering about thought disorders. Lately my speech/thoughts have been going all over the place, but suddenly for no reason... how long does it take for a thought disorder to actually become one, if you know what I mean? Does it take months or years or does it depend on the person?

Hi anon. I was doing some research on the subject of thought disorders but I couldn’t find an answer to your question. However, I think that, in order for a thoght disorder to be considered as one, it can take, as with many mental illnesses, from weeks to months and be quite consistent, I mean, the disordered speech should be present in most of your speech, but not necessarilly all your speech has to be disordered. You can have moments of normal speech too. But that’s my opinion, I’m not a professional, so my advice is that you go ask someone whos works in the field of psychology or psychiatry to help you figure out if you actually have a problem or not.

is it at all a psychosis thing to speak out loud sort of like… “i um. there. i saw you uh. puzzled? expression? and um. wanted to as k. i think. sorry. er. yes.” because i’m curious like is it just my being awkward in speech patterns or is this a disordered speech thing sorry

Do you know logorrhea? It’s excessive wordiness, can include incoherency, often to oneself (though can be to others as well). Sounds like what you’re describing, like in that example, could also be what’s called evasive interaction, expressing ideas or feelings about someone but it comes out diluted and evasive. There’s a page with all kinds of examples here, by the way ^^Disorganized thought and speech are among the symptoms of psychosis.- Mod Alex
