Doomscrolling: tips from a psychologist-psychotherapist on protecting yourself and maintaining emotional balance

The ever-increasing availability of digital information is shaping new patterns of online behavior. One such pattern is doomscrolling - an unconscious habit of spending excessive time consuming negative content on social media, news websites, or other platforms. This behavior became particularly prevalent during the pandemic, as many sought to stay informed about the rapidly changing global situation. While the desire to stay informed is natural, doomscrolling often evolves into a harmful habit, as individuals can lose track of time-consuming distressing content, which may lead to psychological stress.
