Description

1The 24-hour news cycle isn’t just keeping us informed—it’s shaping our emotions, our stress levels, and even our worldview. In this episode of Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall, we take a hard, honest look at the psychological toll of living in a constant stream of political headlines, breaking news, and social media commentary.

We explore how information overload can lead to anxiety, burnout, and hopelessness—and why the human brain is wired to fixate on threat-based stories. From doomscrolling to political polarization, we unpack the cognitive, emotional, and social processes at work when the news becomes overwhelming.
