stress-related disorders
, etc. – see below.

Description

Pressured speech is unrelenting, rapid, often loud talking without pauses. Those with pressured speech do not respond to verbal and nonverbal cues indicating that others wish to speak, turning from one listener to another or speaking even when no listeners remain.

Causes

Mental disorders' symptoms

Pressure of speech mainly happens in the bipolar disorders, during the

hypomanic and manic episodes.[3][1]
It also happens because of acute or chronic over-stress in
autism spectrum disorders,[9] and schizophrenia.[10]

Stimulants

amphetamines
may cause speech resembling pressured speech in individuals with pre-existing psychopathology and produce hypomanic or manic symptoms in general, owing both to the substance's own qualities and the underlying nature of an individual's psyche. In many psychotic disorders, use of certain drugs amplifies certain expressions of symptoms, and stimulant-induced pressured speech is among them.

Effects

Pressured speech may lead to stuttering, e.g. whenever the persons want expressing themselves faster than their ability to utter their thoughts.[11]

Even though cluttering sounds almost identical to pressure of speech, it differs in that pressure of speech is rooted in anxiety, where cluttering is not.
