Doomscrolling's Impact on Mental Health Unveiled
A study by University College London reveals that doomscrolling, the habit of seeking negative information online, exacerbates poor mental health by trapping individuals in a cycle of negativity. The research involved over 1,000 participants and found that those with poorer mental health scores were more likely to seek out negative content, which in turn worsened their mental state. The study highlights the correlation between internet use and mental health issues, contributing to ongoing debates about the impact of digital habits on well-being.
