In psychology, graphorrhea or graphorrhoea is a communication disorder, expressed by excessive wordiness with minor or sometimes incoherent rambling, specifically in written work. Graphorrhea is sometimes classified as a mental illness, resulting in a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders including aphasia, localized cortical lesions in the thalamus, mania, or most typically in catatonic schizophrenia. Some ramblings may follow all/any grammatical rule(s) but still leave the reader confused and unsure about what the piece is about.
