Hello Mr Dan,
I think whatever you are describing is a matter of concern to any parents. Such behavior can be a part of many disorders- Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,Attention deficit Hyperactivity Disorder , Bipolar Disorder or may even be a normal variant which may go away as she gets older. one has to observe, analyse and discuss her behavior in detail before we know what it is.
