3 Kinds of Word Salad - Day 7 of "100 Symptoms"
Channel: nednednerB the Schizophrenic

More Word Salad Examples: Rhyme, Loop, and Mashup

These aren't commonly used terms but at certain times I recognize them in myself.

100 Symptoms is a series where I describe and/or document 100 unique symptoms of schizophrenia. Including general categories as well as very specific examples sometimes.

Various language disorders comprise some of the most common symptoms of psychotic conditions (along with delusion and hallucination). Word salad typically is neither a delusion or a hallucination but may be connected to them (at least in temporal sequence). Word salad is language breakdown, disturbed sense and meaning, randomness, disorganization.

If the brain makes decisions that affect beliefs, that would be delusion, or if an auditory hallucination of speech gets picked up and repeated in a loop, rhyme, mashup, or stuck thought, so in that way there can be connection. However, the word salad part of the situation is usually felt to be self-generated language behaviour as opposed to auditory hallucination. Language disorder can certainly exist without set beliefs or strange apparitions.

Ask any questions in the comments below if you seek clarification. Open for discussion!

I have schizophrenia every day. Even though I was diagnosed in early 2000s, I experience and manage symptoms daily.

Mental health issues affect millions of people. We are each unique, while we also share behaviour and perceptions that medical and psychiatric science usefully categorizes. Schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder, and bipolar disorder are some of those categories.

Seemingly countless symptoms, or really, are they countless? I will now start recording and publishing one hundred days of brief videos touching on a specific symptom in my own lived experience.
