Field Label

disorganized speech: the individual may switch from one topic to another (derailment or loose associations).  answers to questions may be obliquely related or completely unrelated (tangentiality). Rarely, speech may be so severely disorganized that it is nearly incomprehensible and resembles receptive aphasia in its linguistic disorganization (incoherence or "word salad").  because mildly disorganized speech is common and nonspecific, the symptom must be severe enough to substantially impair effective communication.  {b24} *must provide value
