Question

Changes in the rate, production, and content of speech is a significant marker of the shift between depression and mania. How does speech change when someone is suffering from a manic episode?

Answer 1

Speech is typically incessant and fragmented.

Step-by-step explanation:

When suffering from a manic episode, a person might feel hyper-active, euphoric and, most of the times, irritable. Because of their boost in self-esteem, during a manic episode a person is extremely talkative and might even encourage others to talk more; and because their thoughts become fast-changing, it's possible that some of their ideas seem incoherent.
