In part two, Mike and Morgan continue to explore the topic of media consumption and its psychological effects on our well being, emphasizing how excessive exposure can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and depression. Through the conversation, they aim to illuminate the potential for media to both positively and negatively influence mental well-being, particularly in the context of doom scrolling and the compulsive nature of digital engagement. They advocate for mindfulness in media consumption, encouraging listeners to evaluate their habits and consider healthier alternatives if needed.
Conditions that can be impacted by media:
- Anxiety disorders (catastrophic thinking, hypervigilance)
- Depression (social comparison, helplessness)
- PTSD/vicarious trauma (exposure to disturbing content)
- OCD (compulsive checking, reassurance seeking)
- ADHD (impulsivity, difficulty focusing)
- BDD/eating disorders (filtered images, comparison)
Treatment approaches:
- Psychoeducation around media literacy
- Digital hygiene: screen-time boundaries, app settings
- CBT/ACT strategies (e.g., cognitive distortions, values-based actions)
- Medications when warranted (SSRIs, stimulants, etc.)
- Peer and group support
Reclaim control:
- Curate your feed intentionally
- Build media-free rituals
- Stay informed without being overwhelmed
