The Neuroscience of Overthinking: Why High Intelligence Feels Like Anxiety

Описание: Do you ever find yourself staring at your ceiling at 3 AM, playing out a conversation that hasn’t happened yet? Most people call this "anxiety."

In this video, we go behind the mask of anxiety to explore why "Overthinkers" were the ultimate survivors on the savanna and why modern research shows a direct correlation between high verbal IQ and generalized anxiety.
