Talkativeness is incessant speaking without order and structure, i.e., without giving the statement an understandable form and essential content. Sometimes, it is incomprehensible to babble to oneself or someone else.
A person speaks incessantly, not caring whether someone is listening to them or whether they understand them. If it turns into otorrhoea, it requires seeing a doctor as soon as possible. That is because it usually indicates a serious illness or brain damage.
Talkativeness appears in bipolar disorder and in manic episodes. In this state, the patient experiences racing thoughts, their statements take the form of “word salad”. Moreover, their talkativeness is difficult or even impossible to control.
