I think it's what happens temporarily during times of stress, mental "overload" and sleep deprivation. This could be in an otherwise "normal" but overstressed person. The actor in the clip however doesnt look at all pressured or troubled. I imagine that a person with schizophrenia would have frequent "overload". Wonder where the line is drawn?
I I I am schizophrenic this is weird it is.. tought block when the brain gets to doped up and heavy to clear your mind because it's like an error. computer error.. too much information from in and outside. desorgnanised schizo am i
I find thought blocks to be helpful actually. It clears the mind and allows me to refresh my thought. The person I am talking to has to restate their issue. I am schizoaffective. I do this fairly often
I have a bipolar disorder & although this clip is short, I can relate. Tthere are times I get that aburpt speach break off & or pressured speach as well. I don't complain about having conversations either usualy because we just keep going & sometimes before my diagnosis I would just either withdrawl or keep the difficulty to my self. Now I realize others noticed it better than I.
These could be perfectly normal. Thought Block is when the patient's mind goes blank, as though all there thoughts h ave stopped. It's often associated with delusions about their thoughts being withdrawn from their brain/mind. Classically (and in this 'case') it is seen in schizophrenia.
what if you don't finnish sentences? and talk fast? is that schizophrenice or add? is it the same as forgetting what to say, or maybe thinking to fast??
Doc, Is the way that he's fumbling words when constructing his sentences a symptom of schizophrenia as well? (I'm not talking about the though-block, zoning out long pause part)
In this case no. That is just the role player's mannerism. That being said disorganisation of speech reflecting underlying thought disorder is a key feature of schizophrenia and I hope to get an illustrative video up in the first quarter of next year.
This is the problem with short clips. The patient complains of other people commenting on his ability to have a conversation but doesn't note or complain of it himself. In the longer version (it'll be shown in the delusions clip which is to come) he describes paranoid delusions including a persecutory delusion and thought withdrawal.

Nice short clip and to the point but I can't recall a patient actually complaining about their ability to have a conversation
