Medical conditions I have encountered
Palilalia (from the Greek πάλιν (pálin) meaning "again" and λαλιά (laliá) meaning "speech" or "to talk"), a complex tic, is a language disorder characterized by the involuntary repetition of syllables, words, or phrases. It has features resembling other complex tics such as echolalia or coprolalia, but, unlike other aphasias, palilalia is based upon contextually correct speech.
Palilalia is considered an aphasia, a disorder of language, and is not to be confused with speech disorders, as there is no difficulty in the formation of internal speech. Palilalia is similar to speech disorders such as stuttering or cluttering, as it tends to only express itself in spontaneous speech, such as answering basic questions, and not in automatic speech such as reading or singing; however, it distinctively affects words and phrases rather than syllables and sounds.
Palilalia may occur in conditions affecting the pre-frontal cortex or basal ganglia regions, either from physical trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, genetic disorders, or a loss of dopamine in these brain regions. Palilalia occurs most commonly in Tourette syndrome and may be present in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy.

The "so needy" malady seems to be contagious.
What is needed is an injection of a suitable vaccine.

Re: Medical conditions I have encountered
Thank you for starting this thread in "Everything else" subforum.
PS I had very mixed feelings when found SGT filled with these strange "needy". My first movement was to delete all, but after short... mmm... "thinking" (?) I got idea what forum's community will accept that case with humor and irony. So I did nothing. Here we are.

The usual way to deal with new contagious maladies is to isolate the source, pending development of a vaccine.

Your first thought was indeed the correct one, pity you hadn't of acted on it as neither humour nor irony were present in any of arsenals flooding posts of course.
