Is overthinking a mental disorder?

Well, overthinking can become a mental disorder, but it's usually called anxiety. Anxiety is a problem when it starts to interfere with your quality of life.

I think if it happens, it would fall under the Anxiety category. With panic attacks, too, I say yes.

Overthinking itself isn't one, but a person who is in a habit ofover analyzing stuff will often find themself suffering from some form of mental illness. Overthinking can also be symptom, if you are an anxiety patient then it is very common to think too much and derive worst case scenarios. The trick to it is to think logically, process the information but eliminate the part of your thinking that feel over exxagerated. Writing it down oftne helps because it puts things in perspective.

It depends on the extent of overthinking. Most of us overthink from time to time. If it becomes something that provokes chronic anxiety, then it might be considered some form of mental disorder.

Not necessarily. But it might also be stress or anxiety causing you to feel like you're overthinking. It might help to write down things that are on your mind or discuss them with a close friend.

I don't think over thinking is a mental disorder. Overthinking happens to everyone some times! It is normal :)

Overthinking itself is not a mental disorder. However, it is often associated with mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Overthinking is something all of us do, it's not a mental disorder. It's just important to remember that you're not someone else's opinion of you. You are your own definition of beautiful. Remember, always be a good person but don't waste time proving it. No matter what, there's always someone who cares.

Not exactly. Every now and then, a person overthinks and that is okay. It's not healthy is one overthinks too much.

Yes, I do believe that over thinking can be a disorder. However, I am not a doctor and I would highly suggest you seek medical attention to be absolutely sure if that's what you might have.
