Single line text.

Answer 7

1 alogia
- An impoverishment in thinking that is inferred from observing speech and language
behavior. There may be brief and concrete replies to questions and restriction in the amount of spontaneous speech (termed
poverty of speech).

Sometimes the speech is adequate in amount but conveys little information because it is overconcrete, overabstract, repetitive, or stereotyped (termed poverty of content).

2 compulsion
- Repetitive behaviors
(e.g., hand washing, ordering, checking) or mental acts (e.g.,
praying, counting, repeating words silently) that the individual feels driven to perform in response to
an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly. The behaviors or mental acts are
aimed at preventing or reducing anxiety or distress, or preventing some dreaded event or situation;
however, these behaviors or mental acts are not connected in a realistic way with what they are
designed to neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive.

3 flight of ideas
- A nearly continuous flow of accelerated speech with abrupt changes from topic to
topic that are usually based on understandable associations, distracting stimuli, or plays on words.
When the condition is severe, speech may be disorganized and incoherent.
