It’s hard to look away from the news, and even harder to feel okay about it. On this episode of Happy Enough, Garvia Bailey speaks with Dr. Amanda Friesen, a political psychologist at Western University, about why political anxiety pulls us in so easily and how doomscrolling keeps us stuck in an echo chamber of negativity.
Dr. Friesen explains why people who aren’t normally anxious can feel such profound stress around politics and current events, how getting our news through social media makes it worse, and what it takes to stay informed and engaged without burning out.
