Imagine a Person with Random Talking Disorder

That person with random talking disorder, which is sorta like schizophrenia, actually makes sense to you and I, since we ain't shrinks. Yet if that person with RTD goes to a shrink, the disorder is mistaken for schizophrenia, requiring medication to shut him up. Is that not a human rights violation? RTD is related more to Tourette's except the afflicted do not cuss randomly. Rather, they string together words but it is more coherent than the word salad of true schizophrenia. Yet were you to tease apart what a person with RTD says, the paragraphs are random. Tho a person with RTD can say something that takes 140 characters or less. Essentially RTD is a symptom of too much Twittering!
