Abnormally slow speech due to difficulty in forming words or expressing thoughts.
From Greek 'brady-' (slow) and '-logia' (speech, discourse). The term combines the medical prefix for slowness with the root for speaking, creating a clinical term for reduced speech rate.
This word captures a symptom that neurologists see in several conditions—from Parkinson's disease to depression—where the brain's language centers operate in slow motion, literally slowing down how fast someone can produce words.
