Sometimes even on the street you can meet a person who speaks frankly strange. Incoherent speech may indicate schizophrenia or be a manifestation of neuroticism. Modern medicine knows many factors that provoke this condition. It is not always clear to the layman what, in principle, includes such a term, especially if you have never personally seen people with such a manifestation of deviation. Let's consider in more detail.
Definition
Incoherent speech is a phrase that conceals speech disorder. It is assumed that a person pronounces words, expresses some feelings, while they are not connected by meaning. Schizophasia involves a reaction to an irritant, but without meaningful reinforcement. In this case, the sentences are built correctly, the grammar is followed. Only the meaning of what is said is violated.
Does it happen in life?
Many have at least once seen those who are called "urban madmen." Often it is they who are characterized by incoherent speech.
It’s easy to notice a person - he waving his arms on the go, talking without an interlocutor, or talking to people passing by. Such a person speaks relatively loudly, clearly pronounces the words. Even if you listen to his phrases, you still can’t understand what the person is talking about, at least if he is listening in his right mind.
They say about such people that they are characterized by schizophasia. The term refers to a syndrome that occurs during a variety of disorders, diseases that affect the psyche.
Schizophasia: the nuances
Incoherent speech has a clear grammar. Phrases are formulated correctly. However, there is no sense in them, as well as an obvious connection between the foregoing for an outside observer. A person suffering from such a deviation can correctly choose the intonation for the spoken. In his power to bind words. In this case, the problem is found in the logical component of what has been said - the logic itself cannot be discerned from the outside. As many say, it looks pretty scary.
Most often, the phenomenon is observed against a background of mental deviation, a neurotic state. In some cases, such speech is noted in individuals under the influence of a narcotic, intoxicating substance. According to experts, in practice, drunk people are more typical of a sort of "salad of words," in which there is no grammatical structure, or correctly selected intonations. But schizophasia in drunks is rare.
Schizophrenia and schizophasia
One of the signs of schizophrenia is incoherent speech. It is not possible to make a diagnosis only by this deviation, since it is found in various pathologies, but it is very common in patients with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia as a whole is a disease that does not have strictly characteristic manifestations inherent only to it. All the features characteristic of schizophrenics are also observed with a wide range of other mental illnesses. Some symptoms change over the years. It is known that a number of symptoms in women are usually relatively mild.
Often a sign of schizoid personality type, schizophrenia and a number of other deviations and violations of the formation, development of the psyche, mental health becomes schizophasia. Often it is accompanied by hallucinations. Many note confusion of thoughts. Often a hallucination is accompanied by delusional words, phrases without meaning and connection. The content of ideas around which delusions are concentrated varies from case to case. Some consider themselves the ultimate being, others are convinced of their ability to control others. Often incoherent speech accompanies fragmentation, confusion.
Schizoid: features
To learn more about the features of speech, you can refer to the works of Gannushkin devoted to different types of personality. He notes that there are schizoids that have inherent schizophrenic qualities since birth. Such people are far from reality, they are unpredictable, inharmonious, unnatural. What they said contradicts what was done, does not correspond to facial expressions. Some are characterized by incoherent speech, others speak too complexly, with ornate phrases. Some schizoids are excessively pathetic, pompous, others communicate monotonously, stereotypically. Their speech is not peculiar expressiveness.
The schizoid’s inability to understand the messages, motivation, personality traits of those around him is noted. Such a person appreciates the world around him through his thoughts. When discrepancies are found, they describe the situation as "the worse reality." Usually people of this type of personality are selfish, commit illogical, commit incoherent acts, are known as eccentrics. They behave inconsistently, eccentrically.
Schizoid: continuing the theme
Gannushkin in his works said that such people are prone to extremes. They are characterized by isolation, they suspect others, are incredulous. Many representatives of this type of personality become vagabonds of their own free will, turning into those same "urban madmen" mentioned above. They embark on such a path, because they cannot adapt to life in a standard society.
Some creative people belong to this class. This is especially characteristic of those whose art is understood only by themselves. However, among individuals with such personality traits there are weak-willed natures who cannot cope with the complexities of reality.
