Why can’t you stop overthinking—even when you know it isn’t helping?

#psychologyfacts #psychology #overthinking In this video, Mind Deep explores the psychology of overthinking, repetitive negative thinking, worry, and rumination—and why your mind can get stuck replaying the past or trying to predict the future. You’ll also learn a simple way to recognize when thinking has stopped being useful and shift toward your next practical step. Think deeper. Understand better.
