Thinking inhibited

Inhibited thinking is a thinking disorder that is characterized by a slowing of its pace, impoverishment of associations and narrowing of thematic content.

When thinking is inhibited, a person thinks slowly and has difficulty switching from one thought to another. He needs more time to think about the information and draw logical conclusions. The ability for associative thinking - the emergence of new ideas based on existing knowledge and experience - is also reduced.

The topic of mental activity is often narrowed; it is difficult for a person to go beyond a few topics that are familiar to him. He can think for a long time on the same topic, and his reasoning is monotonous and unproductive.

Inhibited thinking can be observed in various mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, depression, and dementia. It significantly complicates a person’s adaptation to society and requires psychiatric help.

**Inhibited thinking** - a disordered manner of thinking based on a slowdown in its pace (both in perception and in intellectual functioning), impoverishment of associations (difficulty or even impossibility of selecting associations), while simultaneously narrowing the thematic content (singling out only very general concepts ) and abstractness. Character traits: isolation; pedantry; thoroughness; detachment from reality; pragmatism; some coldness and practicality.

**ON THE. Bernstein emphasized** that an essential aspect of any activity is its tone, “the ability of a muscular organ to act not under the influence of moving stimuli from the outside, but due to internal tendencies.” This quality underlies “general adaptation, i.e. ensures the appropriate interaction of the organism with the environment.” U
