No general method to detect fraud

depends if it gives you anxiety. I think the healthy approach is "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best"

I don't need to live in constant fear of the worst, but it helps to be prepared for it

That's not catastrophic thinking then. Catastrophic thinking tends to fixate on irrational concerns, like, "Did I run over a person on my drive home and not notice" or "is that stranger planning to kill me?".

"prepare for the worst" is super vague, because the worst is unbounded in implausibility.

Unlikely, but not impossible. That is how I would describe my thinking when not on medication. Worrying about if I ran over someone without realizing it is an exact worry I have had.

Do you mind sharing what medication has worked for you and any downsides you've experienced?

Escitalopram has worked well for me. I don't really experience any side effects, but it did take a few months to adjust and feel totally normal. Some sleepiness and a feeling like I could not concentrate fully during that break in period, but both of those subsided.

IMHO that's pretty far from OP' description of a viewpoint.
