Various types of thought process. - CORRECT-ANSWERSThought process is
how the thoughts are formulated, organized, and expressed:
*Normal thought process is typically described as linear, organized, and goal
directed.
With *flight of ideas, the patient rapidly moves from one thought to another,
at a pace that is difficult for the listener to keep up with, but all of the ideas
are logically connected.
The *circumstantial patient overincludes details and material that is not
directly relevant to the subject or an answer to the question but does
eventually return to address the subject or answer the question. Typically
the examiner can follow a circumstantial train of thought, seeing connections
between the sequential statements.
*Tangential thought process may at first appear similar, but the patient
never returns to the original point or question. The tangential thoughts are
seen as irrelevant and related in a minor, insignificant manner. Loose
thoughts or associations differ from circumstantial and tangential thoughts in
that with loose thoughts it is difficult or impossible to see the connections
between the sequential content.
*Perseveration is the tendency to focus on a specific idea or content without
the ability to move on to other topics. The perseverative patient will
repeatedly come back to the same topic despite the interviewer's attempts
to change the subject.
*Thought blocking refers to a disordered thought process in which the
patient appears to be unable to complete a thought. The patient may stop
midsentence or midthought and leave the interviewer waiting for the
completion. When asked about this, patients will often remark that they
don't know what happened and may not remember what was being
discussed.
*Neologisms refer to a new word or condensed combination of several words
that is not a true word and is not readily understandable, although sometim

amount, rate, tone, and volume.
*Fluency can refer to whether the patient has full command of the English
language as well as potentially more subtle fluency issues such as stuttering,
word finding difficulties, or paraphasic errors.
*Decreased amounts of speech may suggest several different things ranging
from anxiety or disinterest to thought blocking or psychosis.
