What does it mean when someone is slipping and saying the same stuff a few minutes later and the same tone of voice and stuff?

Answer 1

If someone is slipping and repeating the same words and phrases over and over, it can mean the person has obsessive-compulsive disorder. They simply cannot get whatever it is out of their head. It can also means something more serious if it gets worse or continues for a long time. It can point to an organic brain disorder such as Tourrettes or psychosis. Some people with certain types of partial seizures can do this too. It can also just mean the person is preoccupied or anxious about something.
