Bolesna opširnost: Opširno mišljenje pri kojemu se svakog trenutka skreće u sporedne asocijacije a pritom se gubi cilj. Karakterizira se poremećajem ciljne predstave tako da svaka nova asocijacija postaje ciljna predstava.

tangencijalnost misli

opširnost i vrludanje misli, irelevantne asocijacije koje vode do gubitka niti razgovora

circumstantiality
[-stan′shē·al′itē]
Etymology: L, circum + stare, to stand
(in psychiatry) a speech pattern in which a patient has difficulty in separating relevant from irrelevant information while describing an event. The patient often includes all details and presents them in a sequential order, with the result that the main thread of thought becomes lost as one association leads to another. Frequently the person may need to have questions repeated because the main point of answers has become lost in the confusion of unnecessary detail.

tangentiality [tan-jen″she-al´ĭ-te]
a pattern of speech characterized by oblique, digressive, or irrelevant replies to questions; the responses never approach the point of the questions. It differs from circumstantiality, in which the responder eventually reaches the point.
