One headline warns that screens are fueling anxiety, depression, and attention problems. Another claims screen time is not causing mental health issues at all.

These headlines can feel contradictory and confusing, especially for parents and individuals trying to make thoughtful choices.

We've looked at the current research and offer some analysis to help you make sense of the headlines.

Thinking of reducing your screen time this year? Ask what screens are replacing. Often, what gets crowded out matters more than the screen itself.

Sleep - Late nights on screens quietly steal rest.

Quiet moments - Constant input leaves no space to reset.

Movement - Screens replace the small motion our bodies need.

In-person connection - Digital time can crowd out real presence.

Focus - Always-on access fragments attention.

Emotional processing - Screens can interrupt feeling and healing.

When Staying Informed Turns Into Doom-Scrolling

During times of social upheaval, many people scroll more to stay informed or feel a sense of control. Over time, this leaves the body tense and the nervous system stuck in alert mode.

Constant exposure to distressing content increases anxiety, disrupts sleep, and intensifies feelings of powerlessness.

Staying engaged does not require staying overwhelmed.

Try intentional engagement instead:

*Check news at set times, not continuously
*Avoid algorithm-driven feeds
*Balance updates with movement, grounding, or connection
*Shift from consuming to doing with one small, concrete action, like volunteering, donating, or supporting community efforts

Reducing exposure is not avoidance. It helps your nervous system reset so engagement comes from clarity, not overwhelm.

When stress feels hard to regulate, support can help. At Worth It Therapy, the focus is on understanding stress responses and staying engaged without feeling consumed.

A Small Habit Worth Re-Evaluating This Year

Those 10 minutes here and 20 minutes there add up. Heather Eaton shares why screen time is worth evaluating as part of mental health in the new year in this clip from a longer interview about Connected and Grounded Families.

Awareness is a powerful first step. When self-guided changes don’t bring relief, therapy offers a space to understand your nervous system, stress patterns, and needs. Worth It Therapy is here to help.

A different way to think about New Year’s Resolutions

Do these Resolutions Sound Familiar?

Stop feeling so stressed out.
Sleep better.
Stop overthinking everything.
Be more patient.
Feel more present in life.

These goals are honest and deeply human. They reflect a desire to feel better, not to become someone new. But for many people, these intentions are harder to reach than expected.

At Worth It Therapy, we often see New Year’s resolutions as important signals. Many reflect a nervous system that has been carrying too much for too long. It may be a sign that the brain and body need support.

Reach out to schedule an intake assessment. Healing can be part of the resolution

Family isn’t just who we’re born to. It’s who shows up. Celebrate this New Year's Eve with gratitude for the people who remind you that you belong. Found family is real family, and every act of care counts.

Before the year ends, pause and check in: What have you learned? What are you ready to release? Connection begins when we listen to ourselves with compassion.

The hardest conversations are often the ones we have with ourselves. Therapy can help you listen to your inner voice with kindness, not criticism.

Connection with family can take many forms. Sometimes it means staying close; sometimes it means holding boundaries. You can love your family and protect your peace. Balance is a kind of connection, too.

Worth It can help you navigate family dynamics with compassion and clarity.

Connection grows when we honor where we come from and what we discover along the way. Mixing old and new such as your family’s recipes, your friends’ rituals and your own values builds a holiday that feels authentically yours.

Wholeness means honoring every part of who you are. Therapy can help you integrate your story into something whole and healing.

Laughter is medicine. Whether it’s a silly game, a “Merry Misfits” dinner, or a shared joke, joy restores us. Play is a form of healing and one of the simplest ways to reconnect.

Joy and laughter reconnect us with the child inside. Worth It can help you rediscover lightness after stress or trauma.

Even when we can’t be physically together, love travels well. A message, call, or shared meal online can bridge the miles between hearts. Connection doesn’t depend on proximity — it depends on intention.

Even from miles away, connection is possible when you feel grounded. Therapy can help you strengthen your emotional connections, near or far.

Sometimes connection means slowing down. A quiet day of reading, resting, or simply breathing can be an act of love toward yourself. Rest isn’t avoidance; it’s recovery.

Whether you are celebrating today with your definition of family, or resting and recovering alone, WorthIt Therapy wishes you the warmth of the connection - self and communal - that you deserve.
