Why do we doomscroll, and how do we stop?
short by / on Wednesday, 2 April, 2025
Doomscrolling is the habit of endlessly consuming negative news, fueled by survival instincts, FOMO, and social media algorithms. It harms mental health (anxiety, depression) and physical well-being (sleep issues, eye strain). To stop, set news limits, choose balanced sources, practice mindfulness, and take digital breaks for a healthier, mindful relationship with information.
