Doomscrolling - tips for healthier news consumption from the Mental Health Foundation

Keeping up with the latest news is simpler than ever thanks to smartphones and social media. However, it’s easy to end up doomscrolling – constantly scrolling through negative news for long periods of time.

Doomscrolling is a natural and human response to a world that can feel unstable. However, it can also affect our mental health. While online content can help us feel more informed, reassured and in control, doomscrolling can cause us to become more anxious, sad, or overwhelmed.2

Understanding why we doomscroll and the effect it can have on our wellbeing allows us to create positive changes in managing our mental health.
