People weep bitterly over the bodies of their family members, stand covered in blood next to demolished homes, or flee the fighting in panic and pent-up anger.
On television, and especially social media, you cannot ignore the steady stream of depressing reports and ugly images from the war in Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas.
All of these things have an impact on your mental health. Therefore, from a psychological point of view, you should take breaks from all this, especially images, advises Nathalie Krah, a member of the Association of German Physicians for Mental Health.
When you see a post with horrific images, it is common to search for more information, articles or publications.
Since it may seem unbelievable, you seek confirmation through more pictures and information.
This endless reading of negative news stories on the Internet is known as passive browsing.
For the sake of one’s mental health, one should not follow disturbing images or videos on social media by watching more of them.
