Thought disorganization

Thought disorganization is a state in which one's ability to analyze and categorize conceptual information using a systematic and logical thought process is considerably decreased. It seemingly occurs through an increase in thoughts that are unrelated or irrelevant to the topic at hand, thus decreasing one's capacity for a structured and cohesive thought stream. This effect also seems to allow the user to hold a significantly lower amount of relevant information in their train of thought that can be useful for extended mental calculations, articulating ideas, and analyzing logical arguments.

Thought disorganization is often accompanied by other coinciding effects, such as analysis suppression and thought acceleration. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of hallucinogenic and depressant compounds, such as dissociatives[1][2][3][4], psychedelics[1][5], cannabinoids[1][6][7], and GABAergics[8][9]. However, it is worth noting that the same stimulant or nootropics compounds that induce thought organization at lower dosages can also often result in the opposite effect of thought disorganization at higher dosages.[1][9][10][11]
