Increased speech drive/ increased urge to speak / speech compulsion

Increased speech drive/urge to speak also known as speech compulsion is the urge the manic patient feels to speak. Such patients talk continuously, even when it is necessary to remain silent. In other words, they cannot stop speaking, even when what they say is simply gibberish. Like maternal, hunger and erotic drives, this is a drive that compels the person to continue talking.
Peer comment(s):

agree Haigo Salow : I would go with /increased urge to speak/ since the patient is in a manic phase.e.

Pressured Speech

apparently a symptom of mania (When you have pressured speech, you have an extreme need to share your thoughts, ideas, or comments. It’s part of mania.)

Peer comment(s):

agree Alan Wiser, MD : While I agree somewhat with the comments below, English and German often emphasize differ aspects; I think in clinical terms I would say something like "notably pressured speech," or "clearly pressured speech.

speech impetus

Pressured speech seems to be the result of "starker Sprechantrieb", not Sprechantrieb itself.

Compare with this:

"What would happen if the motor program of a word was not or insufficiently transferred to the motor cortex? The speaker (or his brain) wouldn’t know how to move the muscles to articulate a word or phoneme. The result should either be a fuzzy or chaotic movement or a sudden lack of impetus. Both does not meet the experience in stuttering: symptoms are distinct, and speech impetus is strong." http://www.stuttering-theory.eu/blog09.html
