Thought blocking is a disorder of thought that is usually a sign of mental illness. It is characterized by regular interruptions in the stream of thought. This is more than simply losing one's place, it is a complete halt to the process of thought. Outward signs are abrupt, repeated interruptions in the flow of conversation or actions. Subjective experience is that of a total, uncontrollable emptying of the mind. It seems as if one's thoughts are being curtailed by some outside force.
