Abnormal thought control

Introduction Normal people's thinking is subjectively controlled by themselves, and some schizophrenia patients feel that their thinking is not under their control, or that their own thinking is no longer their own, but is controlled by an external force. It means that the patient feels that his or her mind is not his or her own, that the thinking activity loses autonomy, or that it is controlled by external forces. For example, the experience of deprivation of thinking, insertion of thoughts, and dissemination of thoughts. Thinking is inserted, thought is taken, and thought is spread. It is common in the early stages of schizophrenia and in the full development of symptoms.

Cause

Thinking is inserted, thought is taken, and thought is spread. It is common in the early stages of schizophrenia and in the full development of symptoms. Because patients do have such experience and lack the ability to understand their own diseases, they often feel pain, crying and complaining to the doctor. Pay attention to check to see if there is an abnormal medical history, the history of parental inheritance, and the problem of personal emotions.
