Thought deceleration
Thought deceleration can be described as the mental process of thought being slowed down significantly. When experiencing this effect, it literally feels as if the time it takes to think a thought and the amount of time which occurs between each thought has been slowed down to the point of greatly impairing cognitive processing. Not only is the speed of thought decreased, but the sharpness of a person's mental clarity seems to decrease alongside it, resulting in a complete absence of new or insightful ideas.
