What qualities of speech should be considered during a pt interview? - Answer ✔ -Rate:
Does he speak rapidly or slowly? Rapid or "pressured" speech is usually a buzzword for
manic speech, but you need to be careful not to overpathologize. Rapid speech can
signal anxiety or even be the normal speech pattern. We all know people who speak
very rapidly but are not manic.

-Volume:
Patients who speak loudly may be manic, irritable, or anxious. Very low volume may
signal depression or shyness. Again, loud or quiet speech may also be a nonpathologic
variant of normal.

-Latency of response:
Normally, when you are asked a question, you'll think for a fraction of a second before
responding. This is the normal latency of response. Manic patients may respond so
quickly that they seem to jump onto the last few words of your questions. Depressed or
psychotic patients may show an increased latency of response, waiting several seconds
before answering simple questions.
