A '''formal thought disorder''' ('''FTD''') is a disruption of the form or structure of thought. Formal thought disorder, also known as disorganized thinking, results in disorganized speech and is recognized as a major feature of schizophrenia and other psychoses. FTD is also associated with conditions including mood disorders, dementia, mania, and neurological diseases. Disorganized speech leads to an inference of disorganized thoughts.


Types of thought disorders include derailment, pressured speech, poverty of speech, tangentiality, verbigeration, and thought blocking.

Formal thought disorder is a disorder of the form of thought rather than of content of thought that covers hallucinations and delusions. FTD, unlike hallucinations and delusions, is an observable, objective sign of psychosis. FTD is a common and core symptom of a psychotic disorder and may be seen as a marker of its severity, and also as a predictor of prognosis. It reflects a cluster of cognitive, linguistic, and affective disturbances that have generated research interest in the fields of cognitive neuroscience, neurolinguistics, and psychiatry.

* FTD, unlike hallucinations and delusions, is an observable, objective sign of psychosis.  
Eugen Bleuler, who named schizophrenia, held that thought disorder was its defining characteristic. However, disturbances of thinking and speech such as clanging or echolalia may be present in Tourette syndrome, or other symptoms as found in delirium. A clinical difference exists between these two groups. Those with psychoses are less likely to show an awareness or concern about the disordered thinking, while those with other disorders do show awareness and concerns about not being able to think clearly.
* According to Eugen Bleuler, who named schizophrenia, the main core of Psychosis is loss of insight. It means that the psychotic patient is not aware of what he is doing. In hallucinatory disorders that the patient see or hear some illusions but he is aware of his fake sensation. Therefore this is different from psychosis.
