#disordered speech

-schizophrenic with somewhat constant disorganized speech and writing

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.

When you use a lot of filler words cause you just don’t know what to say.

Mispronouncing, over-pronouncing, and under-pronouncing every other syllable.

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
