That depends on....: Hello. That depends on what the cause of the racing thoughts is. It could be related to anxiety, medical condition, a mood disorder or substance use. The best advice is to start by seeing your family doctor to rule out medical causes. He or she will determine if you require a tweak to your lifestyle, medical treatment or behavioral health assistance. Take care.

Racing thoughts: When treating a symptom, it is best to explore the etiology of the symptom & treat that. Racing thoughts can be symptomatic of a mood disorder, drugs/medications, or a physical problem. Consult your pcp for workup first.
