Is Watching News Affecting Your Mental Health? | Faye D'Souza

According to a survey by Digital Third Coast, 68% of people said the news has left them feeling anxious during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, 65% and 67% of respondents reported feeling overwhelmed and burnt out by the news respectively.
54% even said they were cutting back on their news consumption to escape these feelings.

Given the sensational nature of the 24-hour news cycle, most media outlets end up reporting on crisis, disasters, or other stories that are likely to shock and draw in readers and viewers.

We talk to our guests about the impact of news on our mental health and how we can tackle it. The guest list includes:


1) Dr Harish Shetty, Psychiatrist
2) Dhanya Rajendran, Editor In Chief, The News Minute
3) Sagar Mundada, Consultant Psychiatrist and De Addiction specialist, Healthspring Mumbai
