Ever wonder why Kamala might have symptoms of "inappropriate laughter" and "word salad"? I did a simple browser search and AI provided the diagnosis.

 

"Pseudobulbar affect Condition involving unusual and involuntary laughing or crying Inappropriate laughter and word salad are symptoms that can occur in various neurological and psychological conditions. Here are some key characteristics and possible underlying causes:

 

Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA): A condition characterized by sudden, involuntary episodes of laughing or crying, often out of proportion to the situation. PBA is associated with conditions such as traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), and dementia.

Logorrhoea: A type of verbal diarrhea, characterized by excessive and often incoherent speech. Logorrhoea can be a symptom of anxiety, over-confidence, or certain neurological conditions like autism or brain injury.

 

Paradoxical Laughter: A symptom of schizophrenia, characterized by laughter that is inappropriate to the situation or context. It is often accompanied by other negative symptoms, such as blunted affect or flat emotions.

 

Emotional Incontinence: A symptom of pseudobulbar affect, characterized by sudden, involuntary expressions of emotion, including laughter or crying.

 

Common features of these symptoms include:

 

Sudden onset and termination

Involuntary nature

Inappropriateness to the situation or context

Potential disruption to daily life and social interactions

Treatment approaches may vary depending on the underlying condition. For PBA and logorrhoea, medications and therapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy) may help manage symptoms. For schizophrenia, antipsychotic medications and behavioral therapies are often used to address negative symptoms like paradoxical laughter.

 

It’s essential to note that these symptoms can be distressing for individuals experiencing them and their loved ones. A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and individualized treatment plan are crucial for addressing these symptoms and improving overall quality of life."

Could Kamala Harris' inappropriate laughter and 'word salads' be symptoms of a little-known psychological condition?

 

PUBLISHED: 07:01 EDT, 22 July 2024 | UPDATED: 11:51 EDT, 22 July 2024

 

Kamala Harris's rambling 'word salad' speeches may be a symptom of a little-known but common psychological condition called logorrhoea — also known as verbal diarrhoea.

 

The US Vice President, who was endorsed by Joe Biden after he bowed out of the presidential race on Sunday, is known for her jumbled, sometimes incoherent speaking style.

 

Some of her most infamous speeches have included ones about the 'significance of the passage of time' and the 'need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go'.

 

A baffling anecdote about falling out of a coconut tree has also been a rich resource for internet meme-makers, and a study that analysed Ms Harris's speech during a vice presidential debate concluded that 'social factors' were the most likely cause of her 'word salad' rambling.

 

Ratu Annisa of the University of North Sumatra said: 'The causes of the speech errors made by Kamala Harris are social factors, both situational anxiety and social circumstances.'

 

A 2009 study of the condition in Spain found the risk of logorrhoea was linked to level of schooling.

 

Those with lower educational achievement were more likely to 'speak in circles'.

 

It can be a symptom of anxiety or over-confidence, but logorrhoea can be no laughing matter — and may indicate a brain injury, autism or serious condition, although there is no indication that Ms Harris suffers from these conditions.

 

Do Kamala's 'word salads' make her less electable?

 

Yes

No

Logorrhoea is also associated with laughing wildly at random moments, something Ms Harris has become known for, with Donald Trump even nicknaming her 'Laughin' Kamala'.

 

American behavioural specialist Gregg Levoy wrote in a blog on Psychology Today that for people who ramble on and on, speech can become 'a barrier rather than a connector'.

 

He wrote: 'It's easy to dismiss them as merely narcissistic, but this is immensely hard to undo and not necessarily their fault.

 

'It's a holdover from that original egocentric stage around one or two years old, when children naturally feel grandiose and at the centre of the universe.'

 

But logorrhoea is also a common frontal lobe deficit that many traumatic brain injury survivors suffer, and is linked to several serious psychiatric and neurological disorders.

 

These include schizophrenia, lesions on the brain, damage to areas of the brain that deal with language, and ADHD.
