Constantly Thinking Disorder: is it a real thing?

overthinking maybe related to ocd or anxiety so i think its just a symptom im not sure actually if it can exist without being related to a known disorder

Constantly over thinking is a nightmare. Life is so restricted as everything that is done is internally questioned and doubted. It is a living hell. Everything I have ever said or done I question as to if I was right or wrong. The past can’t be changed only accepted as I have to forge on.

I don't think so, because during my research of disorders, I have never heard of that one. I can't say that I am a professional, but I do have a passion for learning about disorders. If you do think a lot, which often leads to overthinking a lot, you might have Generalised Anxiety Disorder(GAD). I do recommend that you read on that and try to see if your symptoms are the same as the ones that they mention. If you want your diagnosis to be more accurate, try speaking to a psychologist about this and maybe they'll be able to help you :)

I believe it is a real thing but it is up to who you ask. The mind can wander off and start thinking about things when you are trying to relax and it can be disturbing.

I don't believe so. Its normal to have many thoughts cross our minds, how you choose to perceive those thoughts is what is important, as that creates an emotional response to the cognition.

It most definitely is real. My mind is never quiet it’s like it’s always fighting with me. It’s painful, physically and mental.

This what I call an overactive/racing mind. I suffer from this. I believe it to be a real thing. I don't know how they would classify it, but to me it seems like a form of ADHD or something along those lines. Maybe anxiety perhaps

I think it's a normal human state to constantly be thinking. But there is a difference between constantly thinking and constantly worrying. If you find yourself constantly worrying, you might have an anxiety disorder.

For something to be considered a disorder it has to negatively affect your ability to function and perform activities of daily living. I do believe that people can think so much that they literally cannot do anything else. Although it could stem from another mental illness such as anxiety, it does seem like it could be a legitimate disorder.

I've expereinced overthinking as well and it wasnt easy. I had troubles sleeping at night and it affected my personal relationship with others.
