Clouding of consciousness, also known as mental fog, is a term used in conventional medicine denoting an abnormality in the "regulation" of the "overall level" of consciousness that is less severe than a stupor or coma. The sufferer experiences a subjective sensation of mental clouding described as feeling "foggy". Alternative medicine practitioners popularly use the term "brain fog". However, some skeptics of alternative medicine reject this term claiming that "it is not clear what the phrase represents".

Famous quotes containing the word clouding:
“Painting is something that takes place among the colors, and ... one has to leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the matter among themselves. Their intercourse: this is the whole of painting. Whoever meddles, arranges, injects his human deliberation, his wit, his advocacy, his intellectual agility in any way, is already disturbing and clouding their activity.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)
