Pressure of speech
Pressure of speech (or pressured speech) is a speech fast and frenetic (i.e. mainly without pauses), including some irregularities in loudness and rhythm or some degrees of circumstantiality; it is hard to interpret and expresses a (generally non-apparent) feeling/affect of emergency. It is mainly a neuropsychological symptom of specific mental disorders, like bipolar disorders, thought disorders, stress-related disorders, etc. – see below.
