Constantly Thinking Disorder: is it a real thing?

Some people's minds are just far more active than others. I do find it very hard to switch off. Sometimes, especially when we're facing a predicament it can be hard not to let our brain branch off towards every eventuality. I always try to remember that we can only do what we can. If you're finding that you can't do tasks like reading without realising half of the words havent gone in, that you could be overwhelmed with a problem, or perhaps feeling anxious. Do you find that it's happening every day? And it really depends on what situations bring it on too.

I guess, somewhat. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness that causes repeated unwanted thoughts or sensations or the urge to do something over and over again. When your mental health declines and you start experiencing depression or anxiety, it can cause repeated thoughts.

Sounds like you might be referring to obsessive compulsive disorder. That is characterized by feeling the need to repeat the same things over and over again. Of course you could also be referring to anxiety disorder. That can result in you worrying about thing excessivly. Playing an event over and over in your head. "What if this happens" "maybe I should have did this instead" I would recoomend that you reach out to one of the 7cups listeners who can really help you explore this question a little bit deeper. With everything going on in the world right now alot of people are constantly thinking.

I have never heard of this disorder, and I don’t even know if it is a real one or not, but when I hear this I think of anxiety. Anxiety is when you are always worrying or anxious about something, meaning you’re constantly thinking. But of course if you’re constantly thinking worrying about something isn’t always the case, of course. So, if you feel you’re always thinking and you can’t quiet your mind, there’s many other things that could be going on. Since I’m no expert I’d recommend talking to a doctor or some sort of specialist to get the help you need.

Clinically, there isn't a disorder by that name but those of us who suffer from mental health problems certainly experience constant or obsessive thoughts like this. It can be truly terrifying and these thoughts can manifest physical symptoms such as obsessively needing to clean your surroundings (not OCD but rather it is a manifestation of your feelings of shame and feeling dirty) or when you feel dirty yourself despite having taken a shower. It isn't real but it hurts us just the same. It is easier for people to tell us to not think about it because thinking leads to elevated stress levels but what we need to do is redirect our thoughts to another direction so we aren't eternally stressed.

Having your mind constantly race is definitely a common thing for many people. It's usually a sign of some type of anxiety. Luckily, there are ways to center your mind and keep it from being so preoccupied by anxiety-inducing thoughts. Mindfulness is a type of meditation practice which helps people mentally ground themselves in the moment. Rather than trying to switch off your thoughts (something that isn't possible), people are guided in focusing on their current environment such as sounds or objects. Focusing on stimuli in here and now helps the anxiety sufferer be more present in the moment.

in my opinion, If we are simply speaking about constantly thinking disorder and exclude ocds, anxiety and other mental impairments i do not belive it is "real", On what factors can this condition could be diagnosed? one cannot simply stop thinking as thinking is for the brain what blood circulation is for the heart and the thoughts born in one's brain are simply the product of their personal intelligence, One should accept their thoughts and (dreams?) as beeing a part of themselves. It may possibly be that such individuals might need to practice and engage in activities that furthermore stimulate their brain.?

From my understanding, it is more like OCD. According to American Psychiatric Association's definition: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which time people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors, such as hand washing, checking on things or cleaning, can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions.Many people have focused thoughts or repeated behaviors. But these do not disrupt daily life and may add structure or make tasks easier. For people with OCD, thoughts are persistent and unwanted routines and behaviors are rigid and not doing them causes great distress. Many people with OCD know or suspect their obsessions are not true; others may think they could be true (known as poor insight). Even if they know their obsessions are not true, people with OCD have a hard time keeping their focus off the obsessions or stopping the compulsive actions.

No, however there are a lot of disorders that involve uncontrollable, racing thoughts. For example mood disorders such as anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar. Those of course are only a fraction of them. Constantly thinking can be quite harmful for a person and can lead to a deteriorating mental health if not dealt with soon enough. It is important to remember that even though you may feel as though you have no control over your mind and that you can not stop these painful/stressful feelings, you actually can. Some people are just not in the habbit of being in control because they haven't been taught that.

Yes, constantly thinking disorder is a real thing. People have struggled with overthinking for a long time and it consumes their thoughts and can impede their day. They can struggle with relationships and their day day and can impede with work if they have a spouse they can struggle to communicate. we have to think about every single thing we go through. Even when deciding to get dressed in the morning requires thinking and decision making. Or the drive to work, requires thinking even if its the same route you take daily, whatever it is it requires thinking to the fullest.
