<onlyinclude>'''Thought disorganization''' can be described as a state of cognitive suppression in which one's ability to analyze and categorize conceptual information using a systematic and logical thought process is considerably decreased. It seemingly occurs through an increase in thoughts which are unrelated or irrelevant to the topic at hand, thus decreasing one's capacity for a structured and cohesive thought stream. This effect also seems to allow the user to hold a significantly lower amount of relevant information in their train of thought which can be useful for extended mental calculations, articulating ideas, and analyzing logical arguments. | <onlyinclude>'''Thought disorganization''' can be described as a state of cognitive suppression in which one's ability to analyze and categorize conceptual information using a systematic and logical thought process is considerably decreased.

Thought disorganization is | Thought disorganization is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[analysis suppression]] and [[thought acceleration]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] and [[depressant]] compounds, such as [[dissociative|dissociatives]], [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]], [[antipsychotic|antipsychotics]], and [[GABAergic|GABAergics]]. However, it is worth noting that the same [[stimulant]] or [[nootropics]] compounds which induce [[thought organization]] at lower dosages, can also often result in the opposite effect of thought disorganization at their higher dosages.</onlyinclude> | ||
