“Overthinking” in Nepali is often described as धेरै सोच्नु, अति सोच (ati soch), or मनमा चक्कर — replaying conversations, imagining worst outcomes, or unable to sleep because the mind will not stop.

Meaning first; then patterns; then how it differs from anxiety/depression; then what helps.

Common patterns

  • Replaying what you said at work or family function
  • “What if they think badly of me?” — social worry
  • 3am worry about money, marriage, children’s future
  • Reading meaning into delayed WhatsApp replies
  • Guilt loops — “I should have done more”

Overthinking vs depression vs anxiety

Anxiety overthinking = future threat. Depression may add “nothing matters” and low energy. Both can coexist. A psychologist helps untangle which drives your loops — CBT skills are especially useful.

What helps before therapy

  • Scheduled “worry time” — 15 minutes, then stop
  • Write worries on paper — externalize the loop
  • Reduce late-night scrolling
  • One small action instead of perfect planning
