Racing thoughts are a common psychiatric symptom. They are usually associated with a elevated (called manic) mood. Random thoughts are not the same thing as racing thoughts.

Racing thoughts are usually described as many ideas coming at once, sometimes to the point that you can not fully describe the thought in your mind before another one adds up.
