Obsessive and distressing thoughts are common signs that come with anxiety disorders. Anxious people tend to infatuate with the worst-case scenario and cannot convince themselves that things are okay.
Sleeping poorly or insomnia is one of the best signs for the mental health professional to use to recognise an anxiety disorder. The reason is that those with anxiety tend to be alert or hyped up because their brain is working overtime. They simply find it hard to relax because of this.
