Q: I am a 26 years old male. I always get negative thoughts like something bad may happen to my family members or to me. I even get bad thoughts against God though I am a great devotee. These thoughts make me feel guilty and worried. Is this a psychological abnormality?

A:Yes, this could be a type of an anxiety disorder where a person experiences recurrent thoughts of untoward incidents, and fear of something bad happening. This leads to distress and impairment of functioning. I suggest you consult an expert in your city, as professional help would prove beneficial.
