Answers:
Pressured speech can be a symptom of Bipolar Disorder, and it can also be indicative of anxiety, but if that is the only symptom she has it is not likely to be anything more than poor boundaries. Some people tend to be impulsive and use poor judgment and when excited or anxious, they tend to talk too much or share too much information indiscriminately. Therapy could help her however by coaching her on how to listen more and then make better judgments about who to share info with and how much. It isn't necessarily the sign of a particular disorder, but a complete psychiatric interview would best determine this.

Has she ever been tested for ADD? I know that ADD patients are talkative and have a problem controling it. Have you talked with your parents about it? Being 25 yrs old, she may have a form of Adult Add.

The fact that she feels bad and cries about it is enough to convince me that she would benefit by seeing a counselor -- that is a psychologist.

From there the psychologist can determine if she is suffering from a sickness or just remorse over words said in haste.

That would be my first move, and proceed from there.

If she is in crisis over this she may want to call a crisis hotline for immediate help.

Maybe it's OCD (obsessive/compulsive disorder)? She could start by talking to her doctor, or to a counselor. They could help her figure out if it's a disease, or just a bad habit.

she needs therapy! do take her to a doctor.how nice of you to worry about her

Contact psyciatrist.

I agree with the possibility that she might have ADD, but that's sometimes a simplistic label. It sounds like her biggest problem is one of impulse control. I used to have this problem really bad and other medications and therapies weren't helping. That's because I was misdiagnosed. See, I've had several head injuries as a result of abuse. A neuropsychological exam showed that I had a traumatic brain injury. Armed with that new information, my psychiatrist changed the diagnosis and the treatment saying that my problems were secondary to a head injury. It took a combination of Seroquel, Trazadone, and Effexor to help regulate brain chemistry. And so I got better.

But I was also helped in therapy by a good psychologist who gave me tools to use to learn to talk TO people and not necessarily talk AT them. I've now been released from treatment and I only see the psychiatrist every four months for labs, so recovery is possible. Good luck!

well she can talk to therapists regularly so she won't have to talk to everyone else
