“…The commonest types of thought disorders found in both groups were poverty of speech, derail ment, loss of goal, perseveration, self-refer ence and tangentiality. This forms the 'com munication component' of T LC disorder and was the commonest abnormality noted uni formly in both groups, which is concordant with other studies [12,14], The rarest types of thought disorder to occur equally in both groups were clanging, neologism, word ap proximation, echolalia, blocking and stilted speech, which form the 'language component' of T L C disorder, implying that language dis order was rare in both groups. Andreasen and Grove [ 13] had also observed the same with the same scale.…”

“…The diag nostic uncertainty of acute schizophrenia which might have been a stumbling block for such studies is resolved by the fact that it is recognised in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10) [7] and Research Diag nostic Criteria [8] and that it is an indepen dent diagnostic entity and different from chronic schizophrenia as established by var ious biological parameters like EEG abnor malities [9], C l scan findings [ 10] and cerebral blood flow studies [11]. The scanty literature available on the differential aspects of thought disorder in acute and chronic groups suggests that it is either the same or slightly different [12][13][14], But language analysis supports this dichotomy and has consistently shown that the language of chronic schizophrenia is 'less complex and fluent and more error ridden than that of acute schizophrenia' [15], Are they phenomenologically distinct entities or are they just in a continuum as they are in duration? This study attempts to explore the difference between acute and chronic schizo phrenia by the parameter of thought disor der.…”

“…Another study reported that tangential speech, driveling, neologisms, private use of words, and paraphasias were seen in 8% of manic patients and in 45% of schizophrenic patients, whereas nonsequiturs and flight of ideas were seen in 75% of manic subjects and 52% of subjects with schizophrenia [10]. Thought disorder in manic patients seems to be more consistently associated with pressured speech [11] and may have a less consistent presentation in subsequent admissions than in schizophrenic subjects [12]. Overall, it appears that there are some qualitative differences between manic and schizophrenic thought disorder.…”

“…Nevertheless, the results are contradic tory. First, negative symptoms have been found to be stable after acute episodes [8], within a year or longer according to some studies [9][10][11][12], but fluctuating [13], increasing [14] or decreasing [11] according to others. Secondly, Breier et al [15] found the greatest increase in negative symptoms occurring in longer durations of the illness, but Fenton and McGlashan [16] and Ring et al [17] did not Find such a correlation.…”
