What are considered racing thoughts?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

The DSM V says...: its "A state in which the mind uncontrollably brings up random thoughts and memories and switches between them very quickly. Sometimes the thoughts are related, with one thought leading to another, other times they are completely random. A person experiencing an episode of racing thoughts has no control over them and is unable to focus on a single topic or to sleep."

Racing thoughts: are those that make it difficult to focus on the present issues. They can also draw a person into lots of tangents. They can make folks restless and eventually depressed. Pease see a mental health professional if that is the case with you. Peace and good health.
