Language depression: Difference between revisions

'''Language suppression''' can be described as a decreased ability to use and understand speech. This creates the feeling of finding it difficult or even impossible to vocalize one's own thoughts and to process the speech of others. However, the ability to speak and to process the speech of others does necessarily become suppressed simultaneously. For example, a person may find themselves unable to formulate a coherent sentence while still being able to perfectly understand the speech of others.  

Language suppression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[analysis suppression]] and [[thought deceleration]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[antipsychotic]] compounds, such as [[quetiapine]], [[haloperidol]], and [[risperidone]]. However, it can also occur in a less consistent form under the influence of extremely [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] dosages of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] compounds such as [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]], and [[deliriant|deliriants]]. This is far more likely to occur when the person is inexperienced with that particular hallucinogen.
