Racing thoughts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Racing thoughts refers to thought confusion which occurs in manic episodes, hypomanic, or mixed episodes and sometimes depression. Racing thoughts are also associated with use of amphetamines. [1]
They may be experienced as background or take over a person's consciousness. Thoughts, music, and voices might be zooming really fast in a persons brain. There also might be a repetitive pattern of voice or of pressure without any "sound" associated with it. It is very overwhelming and irritating feeling, and can resort in losing track of time. Sometimes racing thoughts are accompanied by a pounding heart or pounding pulses, including drumming in the ears.[2]
