War in Ukraine returns

The war in Ukraine has created a brain complexity for anyone who tries to understand what is happening. Now “doomscrolling” has been restored in ways that have not been seen since the beginning of the pandemic. Doomscrolling is the new term that refers to the tendency to continue on the Internet through bad news, even though they are sad, depressing, or depressing.

Mental - health experts are warning that the commitment of people to these events has a cost in regard to anxiety that should not be ignored. Paul Salkovskis, professor of clinical psychology at Oxford University, who worked on measures to help people cope with the anxiety caused by Covid, said: “It is clear that there are some people who are anxious, who will be obviously more concerned, as was the case with David we saw a huge increase in some types of anxiety. There will be some in this situation, but I don't think it will be the dominant answer. ”

Uncertainty plays an important role, he said, and it is part of the reasons for different behaviors, such as the incentive to understand the nature of the threat, how the consequences can be, how we might be faced, and who might be able to help.

Professor Barbara Sahakian, of the Department of Psychiatry at Cambridge University, told the Guardian that many people had faced chronic stress since the beginning of life - threatening pandemic restrictions. “Now there are threats to European and global security,” she said. There seems to be no more good news. This, of course, is not true, but it is important that people not spend time reading such news endlessly but instead take control of the situation. ”
