overall understanding of mental disorders.
Recently, a University of British Columbia-led review of research on mind-wandering revealed that an understanding of how the human thoughts flow or work could help understand the stream of consciousness of patients diagnosed with mental illnesses like anxiety, depression and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
The study, published in the Nature Reviews Neuroscience in November 2016, came up with a system to figure out how the thought process works even while one is at rest. Mind-wandering is when thoughts begin to stray and interrupt people from what they are doing at the moment, said the lead author Kalina Christoff, a psychology professor at UBC.
However, she further noted that this definition of mind-wandering is still limited because it does not encapsulate the entire dynamics of the thought process. Pointing to the fact that the mind can sometimes move from one thought to another and sometimes keep coming back to the same idea triggered by some emotion or worry, she reiterated that it is crucial to understand what can make thoughts free and what makes them constrained. Only then, it will become clear as to how thoughts behave specially in the minds of people diagnosed with mental health problems.
