Speech and Thought. Speech disorders may be associated with specific brain disorders, drug toxicity, Huntington's chorea, etc. Speech is described by its volume (intensity), frequency and quantity. Such as high (fast or strong), medium (normal or average), low (slow or gentle), thinking is evaluated in terms of content and thought process. Thought process refers to the way in which thinking is systematic, organized and logical, and its descriptors are: blocking, circumstances, noisy associations, flight of ideas, loose associations, muteness, neologism, perseverance, the tangent, the word salad. This may indicate psychotic disorders, schizotypal personality disorder, manic-hypomanic disorder. Thought content displays what the client is thinking and includes delusions, obsessions, suicidal or homicidal thoughts or plans, specific phobias, preoccupation with any emotion. 6. Perceptual disorders are classified into two disorders, which are hallucinations (visual, auditory, olfactory, taste and tactile) and illusions. They are an indicator of psychotic disorders, brain trauma, certain organic conditions, etc. The counselor examines these factors by asking specific questions in a sensitive and exploratory manner.
