Does watching the news every day have a negative effect on mental health?

Remove anxiety-provoking information from your newsfeed

While your social media feed can be a good source of information at times, it can also trigger more stress and anxiety. If there are people you are following who are bombarding your feed, posting upsetting information, or sharing questionable links, consider muting or hiding their posts or even unfollowing them for the time being. You can also adjust your settings across social media platforms and news curation apps to mute certain words or phrases.
