| | Results: Above and beyond differences in mental age, gender, and neuroleptic status, the patients had significantly more formal thought disorder (FTD) and cohesive deficits than the normal children matched by mental age. | | | Caplan (1996) proposed that the thought disorder findings of children with schizophrenia reflect both deficits in the organization of ideas at the macro level or level of the paragraph and in the use of linguistic ties that link ideas across sentences or at the micro level of the sentence. | | | The absence of a statistically significant effect of neuroleptics on the thought disorder scores, lack of details on the dosage of neuroleptics, and the cross-sectional nature of our findings preclude conclusions on the clinical implications of the effects of neuroleptics on thought disorder. |

| | Talk:Formal thought disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the case of this entry the construction "thought disorder or formal thought disorder is a symptom of psychotic mental illness" suggests a confidence that we do not currently have in being able to define this symptom. | | | What thought disorder actually is, is an incoherent definition for a symptom of mental illness (see 'Diagnostic Issues' section). | | | For example, thought disorder is inferred from disordered speech, however it is assumed that disordered speech arises because of disordered thought. |

| | In psychiatry, thought disorder or formal thought disorder is a term used to describe a symptom of psychotic mental illness. | | | For example, thought disorder is inferred from disordered speech, however it is assumed that disordered speech arises because of disordered thought. | | | It describes a persistent underlying disturbance to conscious thought and is classified largely by its effects on speech and writing. |

| | The illness can be described as a collection of particular symptoms that usually fall into four basic categories: formal thought disorder, perception disorder, feeling/emotional disturbance, and behavior disorders. | | | Such responses are called flatness of affect, which together with thought disorders are important signs of schizophrenia. | | | Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder characterized by psychotic symptoms - thought disorder, hallucinations, delusions, paranoia- and impairment in job and social functioning. |

| | Prominent symptoms of each type were: delusions and/or hallucinations in the paranoid type, marked formal thought disorder and inappropriate or blunted affect or not well-organized delusions or hallucinations in the disorganized type, and catatonic symptoms in the catatonic type. | | | The morbid risk of schizotypal or paranoid personality disorder was significantly higher among relatives of probands with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and almost significantly higher among relatives of probands with schizotypal personality disorder, other nonaffective psychotic disorder, and nonpsychotic affective disorder than among relatives of controls. | | | Paranoid type was characterized by the presence of prominent delusions and hallucinations and included, besides paranoid forms of dementia praecox, the majority of patients Kraepelin would have diagnosed as suffering from paraphrenia. |

| | The lack of observable psychotic phenomena, such as formal thought disorder, plus the characteristics of their relationship skills (the chaotic nature of borderline relationships versus the socially isolated and awkward relationships of the schizophrenic child) help distinguish such children from those with schizophrenia. | | | Other Disorders Other disorders that need to be differentiated from schizophrenia include schizotypal disorders, schizoid personality disorder, and other psychotic disorders (e.g., delusional disorders and schizophreniform disorder). | | | The differential diagnosis includes mood disorders (especially psychotic symptoms associated with mania or mixed episodes of bipolar disorder), pervasive developmental disorders, non-psychotic emotional and behavioral disturbances (including posttraumatic stress disorder), and organic conditions (including substance abuse). |

| | SchoolBehavior.com: NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) |
| | Although it is not yet recognized as a formal diagnosis with agreed-upon diagnostic criterial, Nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD or NLD) is a syndrome characterized by a pattern of unusual strengths and deficits thought to be due to dysfunction in the right hemisphere of the brain. | | | Since these characteristics might suggest an autism spectrum disorder to those who are experienced in working with students with Asperger's Disorder or high functioning autism, it is worth noting that some investigators have questioned whether NVLD is truly different than autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or whether it may just represent part of the same spectrum. | | | Like their peers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), they tend to be very concrete in their thinking and somewhat inflexible in terms of how they approach tasks or handle transitions. |

| | ANRED: Frequently asked questions |
| | At first anorexia nervosa was thought to be a form of tuberculosis or a manifestation of some other physical disease or disorder, perhaps related to hormone imbalance or endocrine deficiency. | | | Because anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are multidimensional problems (multiple causes, complex dynamics, paradoxical motivations, interlinked triggers, self-reinforcing maintainers, and the like), a clinician is well advised to obtain a general degree and subsequent license in medicine (psychiatry, pediatrics, gastroenterology, etc.), psychology, counseling, or clinical social work. | | | In Europe, the first formal description of anorexia nervosa in medical literature was made by Richard Morton in London in 1689. |

| | World-nationalism: normative globalism as pan-nationalism. |
| | In western thought this opposition (nationalism versus globalism) is supposed to parallel the divide between for instance Herder and Kant, Romanticism and Enlightenment, or alternatively between Hegel and Kant. | | | Combine this with the formal equivalence of globalism and nationalism, and it is clear that the issue in globalist peace schemes is not peace. | | | Media, politicians and academics often share the vision, explicit in the work of Hedley Bull, that some form of transition from disorder or anarchy among states takes place in the long term. |

| | If the patient is exhibiting objective signs such as a formal thought disorder, delusions, or bizarre or blunted affect, these will help to support a label of psychotic. | | | Since the famous paper by Rosenhan, "On Being Sane in Insane Places," (1) the concept of malingering psychosis has been an emotionally charged issue. | | | When asked to choose between inside or outside of the head, the split is nearly equal, with 51% endorsing inside, 40% choosing outside, and 9% describing a combination of the two. |

| | By far, the best documented psychopathological response to chronic amphetamine stimulants is a paranoid schizophrenia-like psychosis in a setting of clear consciousness, in which formal aspects of thought were relatively intact but delusions and hallucinations evoked intense emotions, including intense fear (7, 16, 32, 60, 234). | | | In chronic high-dose cocaine (75) or amphetamine abuse (49), energy and euphoria induced by active drug administration is replaced in withdrawal by rebound dysphoric and anergic symptoms that appear to occur whether or not the stimulant abuser meets the diagnostic criteria for a mood disorder (74). | | | Hallucinations are frequently described in chronic amphetamine abusers; the incidence is upwards of 81% (32) and 83% (108). |
