Doomscrolling is the compulsive, repetitive consumption of negative media, primarily through electronic devices. Greenwich Hospital Clinical Psychologist Gregory Berlin, PhD, explains that doomscrolling really started to ramp up when COVID first hit. People were stuck inside their homes, searching for the latest updates.

If doomscrolling makes us feel bad, why is it so hard to stop?

“Our brains are really peculiar in that we actually seek out negative information rather than positive,” said Dr. Berlin. “Part of this comes from our evolutionary brain. If we feel there is a threat, the surest way to stay safe is to identify and locate that. Doomscrolling, in particular, preys on this evolutionary mindset, because we are hoping that somewhere we are going to find the glimmer that maybe things aren’t so bad.”

That doesn’t mean you can’t stay informed or up to date. Just think about what is important to you and set some boundaries. Perhaps it’s only giving yourself 30 minutes at lunch to catch up on the news. Once that time frame is up, it’s time to focus on other things.

If you see something that you feel passionate about, find ways to act in real life.

“If you’re feeling this sense of doom after scrolling, ask yourself, how can I get involved? How can I be an agent of change in my community?” said Dr. Berlin. “What can I do with this energy? Because that energy can be a motivator for you to do something that might make you feel more positive.”

If you watched the most recent episode of "The Pitt," you may have questions about the safety of turmeric supplements. Can they really damage your liver?

A recent survey indicates that more than 50 percent of adults in the United States look for health information on social media, particularly related to wellness and holistic medicine. Various supplements are touted as providing physical, mental and emotional health benefits.

However, some of those herbal and dietary supplements can actually cause liver damage or other serious health problems, said Joseph K. Lim, MD, a hepatologist and gastroenterologist at Yale New Haven Health who specializes in treating liver diseases. Dr. Lim is also a professor of Medicine at Yale School of Medicine.

“It’s estimated that 20 percent of drug-induced liver injuries in the U.S. are related to herbal and dietary supplements,” Dr. Lim said.
Take turmeric, for example. The spice contains curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric is a popular dietary supplement promoted as a natural remedy to improve a variety of conditions including arthritis, digestive disorders, depression and allergies. While the spice itself is generally regarded as safe, turmeric supplements can cause liver damage if taken at high dosages.
