Media And Mental Health
The news shown by social media can cause anxiety and mental health disorders. For example, shootings at schools have become one of the main fears which both people and specialists must deal with. Psychotherapists agree that people just want to talk about how shootings have impacted them.
“The fear that now arises inside of them, the things that they are worried about, sending their own children to school or just going to the mall. People's brains don't turn off because they are worried about what may happen to them," says Graciela Jimenez.
Amy Exum recommends connecting with ourselves and disconnecting from everything else.
