Most people experience unwanted thoughts from time to time.
Some, known as intrusive thoughts, can be linked to psychiatric disorders.
A new study has found that most people use reactive thought control to deal with unwanted thoughts once they have occurred.
Proactive control—to avoid the thought occurring in the first place—may be more effective, but participants in the study found this very difficult to do.
