“If it lasts a long time, chronic stress can interfere with one’s emotional balance,” he explained.
3. Negative mood and hopelessness
When every day treated to bad news, people can feel the world is no longer safe.In psychology, this is known as learning hellessness, a feeling of helplessness because it considers situations out of control.This is what makes some people get angry, prolonged sad, even despair.

Another impact that often occurs is difficulty sleeping, withdrawing from association, or instead trapped in constant behavior checking news even though it only adds stress.This circle makes it more difficult for individuals to escape from mental pressure.
“News is important, but giving a break to yourself is equally important. Filter the information you read, limit the time, and do not hesitate to find positive things as a counterweight,” he said.
