In the
mental health field, schizophasia, commonly referred to as word salad (see "
word salad" for other meanings), is used to describe the symptom of confused, and often repetitious, language that is symptomatic of various
mental illnesses. It is usually associated with a
manic presentation and other symptoms of serious mental illnesses, such as
psychoses, including
schizophrenia. It describes the apparently confused usage of
words with no apparent meaning or relationship attached to them. In this context, it is considered to be a symptom of a
formal thought disorder. In some cases schizophasia can be a sign of asymptomatic schizophrenia; e.g. the question "Why do people believe in God?" could elicit a response consisting of a series of words commonly associated with religion or prayer but strung together with no regard to language rules.
