What exactly is thought broadcasting?

I want to know if that is what I had. I experienced the feeling that people could read my thoughts. I didn’t hear my thoughts out loud. Is that thought broadcasting? And if not, what is it? Telepathy? Paranoia? What would you call it?

I also experienced the feeling that I could read other people’s thoughts. I didn’t hear their thoughts out loud. My CPN called this “thought reception”. Has anyone ever heard of this? Or experienced it?

Thought broadcasting is the belief that you can communicate with people with your thoughts. Basically telepathy. I had it before and it was the worst thing about the whole illness.

I agree with that!! I’ve experienced almost every conceivable possible sz/sza symptom there is (except intelligible, audible voices), and there is nothing worse.

Dont worry, if you had experiences like that before, it only feels like it happened. It is not really possible to communicate with people in your head.

Do meds help well to remove this? How long may it take? Has anyone gotten rid of this with or without meds?

@Igoryok, I’ve gotten rid of the worst of my thought insertion and thought broadcasting symptoms with meds. I take Risperdal Consta, Seroquel and Geodon.

I’m sorry for everyone who has gone through this. I never have; guess I’m fortunate.

@Happy_H, If you’ve heard intelligible voices out loud or in your head, that’s equally as bad as thought insertion or thought broadcasting in my opinion. I’ve never experienced that.

My thought broadcasting was when the radio was turned on and people on the radio could read my thoughts and they were talking about them on the radio

I believed people could read my mind that were nearby me
Also there was this ‘spirit’ that was going round talking about me to people.

I used to have it, but this forum helped me to understand that many of them have it and it is not true at all but a phenomenon.
