Thought broadcasting
In psychiatry, thought broadcasting is the belief that others can hear or are aware of an individual's thoughts.[1] This differs from telepathy in that the thoughts being broadcast are thought to be available to anybody.
Thought broadcasting is considered a positive symptom of schizophrenia.[2] Thought broadcasting has been suggested as one of the so-called "first rank symptoms" (Schneider's first-rank symptoms) believed to distinguish schizophrenia from other psychotic disorders.
In mild manifestations, person(s) with this thought disorder may doubt their perception of thought broadcasting. When thought broadcasting occurs on a regular basis, the disorder can affect behavior and interfere with the person's ability to function in society. According to an individual's personality this is considered to be a severe manifestation of thought broadcasting that is usually indicative of schizophrenia.[3]
