Doom Scrolling - Why We Do It and the Hidden Impact on Your Mind
In this episode, we uncover the real reason doom scrolling becomes addictive, how social media triggers the brain’s reward system, and why constant scrolling eventually leaves you mentally and emotionally exhausted. We break down the psychology behind doom scrolling, how it impacts your mindset, productivity, nervous system and anxiety levels, and what it means when scrolling starts to feel draining instead of relaxing. If you’ve ever struggled with overthinking, comparison, digital burnout, or feeling overwhelmed by social media, this episode is for you.
