In psychiatry, derailment (aka loosening of association, asyndesis, asyndetic thinking, knight's move thinking, entgleisen, disorganised thinking [1]) categorises any speech comprising sequences of unrelated or barely related ideas; the topic often changes from one sentence to another. [2] [3] [1]
A milder form of derailment of thought, it is marked by the individual leaping from topic to topic which have only the most tenuous, if any, connection with each other. This is in contrast with flight of ideas, whereby the individual's successive ideas may
Racing thoughts refers to the rapid thought patterns that often occur in manic, hypomanic, or mixed episodes.While racing thoughts are most commonly described in people with bipolar disorder and sleep apnea, they are also common with anxiety disorders, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and other psychiatric disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

[6] It is also a direct or indirect symptom of anxiety disorders, [7] attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), [8] autism spectrum disorder, [9] and schizophrenia. [10]

[1] In circumstantiality, apparently unnecessary details and seemingly irrelevant remarks cause a delay in getting to the point. [2]
Meaning, the use of unconscious thought is needed to solve complex problems. [12] A problem such as 2+2 is a linear thought process that can performed in the consciousness. Trying to solve the equation for gravity requires more complex connections in the brain which has been seen to require the unconscious thought process.
