'''Thought Disorder''':  People with schizophrenia often have unusual thought processes. One dramatic form is disorganized thinking, in which the person has difficulty organizing his or her thoughts or connecting them logically. Speech may be garbled or hard to understand. Another form is "thought blocking," in which the person stops abruptly in the middle of a thought. When asked why, the person may say that it felt as if the thought had been taken out of his or her head. Finally, the individual might make up unintelligible words, or "[[neologisms]]." In addition, some people experience having their thoughts "removed" from their minds (thought withdrawal), that others are putting thoughts into their head (thought insertion) or that everyone can hear the indvidiual's thoughts (thought broadcast).

'''Disorders of Movement''': People with schizophrenia can be clumsy and uncoordinated. They may also exhibit involuntary movements and may grimace or exhibit unusual mannerisms. Such movements are often side effects of the anti-psychotic medications used to treat the primary symptoms of schizophrenia.  They may repeat certain motions over and over or, in extreme cases, may become catatonic. Catatonia is a state of immobility and unresponsiveness. It was more common when treatment for schizophrenia was not available; fortunately, it is now rare.
