Over thinking is thinking too much about something 0or too long and the thoughts

get dee!er and you cannot concentrate on any other thing and think about its

circumstances events and !ossibilities that could occur and so in the end too many

0ar out thoughts racing in your heads

hen you analy"e comment and re!eat the same thoughts over and again instead

o0 acting you are over thinking

Over thinking has become an issue as it changes the behavior and indulges a

!erson into dee! thoughts and takes the !erson a*ay 0rom their resent.

Overthinking is a necessary !roblem *hich shall be studied and 0ocused on as it

has a great im!act on a human behavior and change on !eo!les thoughts ideas

According to the American sychological Association over thinking involves

re!etitive !rolonged and recurrent thought about ones sel0 ones concerns and

ones e(!eriences.6 Over thinking entra!s us in a variety o0 *ays 7 through

rumination *orry sel0're!roach and antici!ating negative outcomes.

8ou can certainly over think about !ositive situations and memories as *ell

through savoring antici!ation and reminiscing. $o*ever this kind o0 over

thinking doesnt have the same e00ects as thoughts about negative or !ain0ul

e(!eriences or 0ears.

Aside 0rom making you 0eel tra!!ed in your mind negative over thinking can lead

to mental and !hysical !roblems. Re!etitive negative thoughts over a !rolonged

!eriod o0 time can lead to stress an(iety and clinical de!ression.

9egative thoughts about a s!eci0ic e(!erience can generali"e or e(!and to color

other areas o0 our li0e causing us to scrutini"e still more troublesome memories7

am!li0ying the negativity.

he am!li0ication o0 negativity leaves us distressed about the !ast troubled aboutthe !resent and 0ear0ul or 0atalistic about our tomorro*s. A mind over*helmed

*ith these thoughts is naturally going to des!air or !anic or both. It is easy to see

ho* overthinking can lead to or *orsens de!ression andan(iety.

An(iety and de!ression are serious !sychological issues that are caused by stress

tension etc. And over thinking can be one o0 the cause o0 an(iety and de!ression as

over thinking about something makes a !erson so into it that heshe cannot come

out o0 it and i0 something negative going in mind then it creates de!ression. And in

survey results *e got 9eutral ans*er *hich means i0 a !erson thinks somethingnegative and over think about it results could lead to an(iety and de!ression.
