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. It can also affect how people view things in life, they may not wanna go to work, school, or outside at all. 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 tend to suicide. It has been suggested that the age-of-onset data of childhood anxiety disorders point to a developmental progression.[5] Overanxiousness is said to be abnormal.[6]
Causes and symptoms
Lack of sleep can cause overanxiousness.[7] Abusing drugs can cause overanxiousness as well. Overanxiousness causes talking a lot, which is also called nervous chatter. You get into nervous habits, such as playing with your hair, cracking knuckles, biting your lip. You tend to do repetitive things like counting stairs or rocking back and forth. Overanxiousness causes overthinking. You also get lost in time, or get lost often. You also tend to need for reassurance (asking for directions multiple times or checking on others frequently.) You also tend to avoid eyecontact. Racing mind, social phobia, inability to "enjoy the moment" (being unable to relax and be in the present or expecting the worst in any situation.)
Diagnoses
If you have the symptoms of overanxiousness disorder, you have to be diagnosed in order to help yourself in the future. However, anxiety seems to be confused with overanxiousness a lot as they're both being anxious related. The main difference between those two are that overanxiousness can be from anything, however anxiety has a main target (usually.) Another thing is, anxiety is a normal reaction to many things in life, however, overanxiousness is way more odd and more serious. Being anxious can be normal, we all feel anxious someway but overanxiousness is something that can ruin and change your life. Overanxiousness while driving can be a serious thing, and should not be taken lightly. If you have driving phobia, you tend to get used to it as you practice. However, if you're diagnosed with overanxiousness disorder, you won't even touch or even think about touching a car. This can build so much anxiety that it can lead to anxiety attacks, or other problems.
Treatment
Even though overanxiousness may seem really bad, there's some treatments for it. A psychiatrist should provide at least a session every 2 weeks, a social worker helps as well followed by family discussion. The study found out that behavioral treatment led to 93.3% of cases successfully returning to school. Hospitalization led to be 31% successful. Behavioral treatment was also the most time efficient. Specific fears and overanxiousness are treated with desensitization and relaxation training.[8]
