Overanxiousness is the feeling of being excessively or needlessly anxious.[1] It can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, motivation, feelings, and sense of well-being. Overanxiosuness is an anxiety disorder subtype characterized by anxiety that is not focused on a specific situation or object. Instead, overanxious people are general “worriers” who tend to worry excessively or unrealistically about future or past events.[2][3] Overanxiousness is often compared to depression. It's said older people are presented with a higher total number of overanxiousness symptoms than younger children.[4] Overanxiousness can ruin a person's life, without them even realizing. You'll feel anxious for no reason, even when you have nothing to worry about. Overanxiousness can cause hopelessness, and people even suicide.
