Many people use the terms overthinking and anxiety interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. At TalkMedX, we help individuals understand these differences and find the right support.

Overthinking is when you repeatedly think about the same situation:
- Replaying past events

Anxiety is a deeper emotional and physical response:
- Rapid heartbeat
- Sweating
- Fear or panic
Key Differences
