Gedankenlautwerden
Last reviewed 01/2018
Gedankenlautwerden is an hallucination where a patient hears voices which anticipate what he or she is about to think, or which state what the patient is thinking as he thinks it. Sadly there is no convenient word in English to describe this phenomenon.
It is a symptom suggestive of schizophrenia.
Gedankenlautwerden literally means thoughts becoming loud.
