Struggling with over obsessive thoughts and staying stuck in your head is extremely common. One study found that 73% of adults between the ages of 25-35 and 52% of adults aged 45-55 years old are overthinkers.

But, just because it’s so common doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful. Many overthinkers think they’re doing something helpful by going through their thoughts.
