10 Bipolar Disorder Symptoms
3. Flight of Ideas
Our brain is constantly working even when we think it is not. Usually, the ideas that we make in our heads tend to become words that we exchange with others in order to establish a conversation. Some mental conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder may cause our brains to have too many ideas at the same time, causing us to speak rapidly and sometimes incoherently.
Patients with bipolar disorder tend to have a chaotic train of thought during a manic episode. The constant bombardment of ideas may cause them to speak rapidly and to change subjects abruptly without making any sense to others.
