Ever check the news and end up feeling anxious, exhausted, or on edge – even when nothing bad is happening to you? That’s doomscrolling. Bad news has always existed, but smartphones & other devices have changed how often the human brain encounters it. In our next episode, we unpack key points from a piece by Glanze Patrick on why constant negative news affects the brain, disrupts sleep, and wears down mental health – and what actually helps. Join us for Keeping Ashland Healthy, where mental health starts with understanding how our world shapes us.
