Doomscrolling Geopolitics: Mental Health in an Age of Crisis News ebook

Every headline demands attention; every alert feels urgent. In a world saturated with crisis news—wars, pandemics, disasters—doomscrolling has become a modern coping ritual that paradoxically deepens distress. This book explores how the relentless flow of geopolitical updates affects our mental and emotional stability. Blending historical context with psychological insight, it traces how the information environment conditions collective anxiety and moral exhaustion. Through the lens of public perception versus expert analysis, it shows why constant exposure to conflict reporting distorts our sense of control and proportion. Rather than prescribing withdrawal, it invites reflection on how awareness can coexist with wellbeing. "Doomscrolling Geopolitics" captures a defining tension of our era: the struggle to stay informed without being consumed.
