Definition:

Clang associations are formally defined as "psychic associations resulting from sounds, often observed in the manic phase of manic-depressive psychosis."
In simpler terms, clang associations are groupings of words based on their sounds, generally rhyming or partially rhyming, without necessarily having any logical reason to be put together.

Usually, this is manifest through rhyming or alliteration; for example: “I’m slime, dime, do some mime” or “When I think of my dad, rad, mad, pad, lad, sad.” Some clients who clang are also perseverating . Clanging usually occurs among very disturbed clients .
Of course, with all psychiatric symptoms, sometimes a speci?c situation or subculture encourages the behavior, in which cases it should not be considered abnormal .
Flight of Ideas: Continuous and overproductive speech in which the client’s ideas are fragmented. Usually, an idea is stimulated by either a previous idea or an external event, but the relationship among ideas or ideas and events may be weak. In contrast to loose associations , there are some perceivable connections in the client’s thinking. However, unlike circumstantiality, the client never gets to the original point or never really answers the original question.

What say you? My brain is so slowed down so much I miss most-- not all -- of this when it is spoken. I'm pretty sure I haven't engaged in it. Not since meds knocked me out.
