Can you tell me, are mental illnesses, disorders caused by excessive thinking?

Well people with: Obsessive compulsive disorder can have obsessive thoughts. Individuals with anxiety disorders may ruminate excessively. I would say that excessive thinking is not the root of most mental health disorders.
