Diagnosis

Differential diagnosis

(1) Thinking and running: It shows that the amount of thinking activity increases and the speed changes rapidly.

(2) Slow thinking: This is an inhibitory barrier to thinking.

(3) Poor thinking: These symptoms are similar in appearance and slow in thinking, but they are fundamentally different. Its main features are: emptiness of ideas, lack of concepts and vocabulary, often no clear response to general inquiry, or simply answering do not understand or nothing, and usually do not take the initiative to speak. The patient feels that his brain is empty, there is nothing to think about, and there is nothing to say. But the patient is indifferent to it. More common in schizophrenia or brain organic dementia.

(4) Broken thinking: When the patient has a clear consciousness, the process of thinking association is broken, and there is no coherence and logic in the inner sense.

(5) Sloppy thinking: The patient's thinking activities can be expressed as loose association and loose content. The narrative of the problem is not pertinent, not very relevant, lacks certain logical relationship, giving people a feeling of difficulty in conversation, and their speech. The theme and meaning are also not easy to understand. This is an early symptom of schizophrenia.

(6) Interruption of thinking: In the case of unconsciousness and no obvious external interference, the thinking process is suddenly interrupted for a short period of time, or the speech suddenly stops. This interruption occurs when the patient is involuntary. More common in schizophrenia.

(7) Inconsistent thinking: On the surface, it is similar to the breakdown of thinking, but it is produced in the case of serious disturbance of consciousness.

8) Pathological description: When the patient narrates things, he does not bother to make unnecessary, detailed and cumbersome descriptions on individual details, so that some meaningless red tapes cover the main content of the problem.
