What is a term for examples of rapid and disorganized talking? Pressured Speech!

It can be described as speech which is chaotic, quick, disorganized, and stressful. People with underlying conditions like anxiety, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder may express pressured speech.

It can happen to "normal" folk, often when they just found something out which is very time sensitive and important, when they may be rushing in more than one way to explain something to someone in a hurry. In my own case of schizophrenia, my brain can emotionally regard the theory, delusion, or preoccupation that I have in my head as somehow urgent, and I can overflow with words.

Sometimes during a "heated" moment in dialogue, I feel I have to say something quick, or something decisive, but I can see in retrospect that my language was rapid, disorganized, and my experience at the time was "stressed out."  With personally significant or political hot topics, some buttons get pressed, and my ideas fall apart as I try to force through some kind of idea.

Literally the language desire is an emotional and intellectual "pressure" to perform or relay the topic. Sometimes it might be a joyful thing to say, but I do think more often this symptom is noticeable when the disorganization is present.

Being disorganized, it is difficult to pose the ideas rushing by into cogent strings. Another problem is putting some kind of social burden on the listener and not being understood. The above doesn't coalesce into calmness and comfort. I think the stress expands to the surrounding setting with this symptom.
