Le « doomscrolling » désigne le comportement compulsif consistant à passer de longues périodes à consulter des informations négatives ou anxiogènes en ligne, souvent via les réseaux sociaux ou les sites d'actualité. Si cette pratique est motivée par le besoin de rester informé, elle s'avère nuisible pour notre santé mentale et physique, comme l'a démontré une étude publiée en 2022 dans la revue Health Communication. Selon cette étude, relayée par The Guardian, sur les 1 100 participants interrogés, 16,5 % montraient des signes de consommation d'information qualifiée de « gravement problématique ». Ces personnes, particulièrement vulnérables, rapportaient des impacts significatifs sur leur bien-être : 74 % souffraient de troubles mentaux comme l'anxiété ou la dépression, et 61 % mentionnaient des problèmes physiques tels que des troubles du sommeil ou de la fatigue chronique. Ces chiffres mettent en lumière l'ampleur des conséquences du doomscrolling. Les mécanismes neurologiques impliqués dans cette pratique expliquent en partie ses effets délétères. L'exposition répétée à des informations négatives active de manière excessive l'amygdale, une région du cerveau impliquée dans la gestion des émotions et la réaction au stress. À force d'être sollicité, ce système de réponse au stress s'emballe, contribuant à des niveaux chroniquement élevés de cortisol, l'hormone du stress. À long terme, cela peut altérer la mémoire, diminuer la capacité de concentration et fragiliser l'équilibre émotionnel. En outre, le doomscrolling agit comme un cercle vicieux. La recherche d'informations négatives, souvent sans but précis, alimente une boucle addictive qui piège l'individu dans un cycle où l'angoisse incite à consommer davantage d'actualités. Ce comportement compulsif détourne l'attention des activités positives ou relaxantes, réduisant ainsi les opportunités de régulation émotionnelle. L'étude souligne également que les effets ne se limitent pas au mental. Le temps passé devant les écrans, combiné à une position assise prolongée, contribue à des douleurs physiques et à une fatigue oculaire. Pour préserver sa santé, il est crucial de limiter son exposition aux informations négatives, d'établir des plages horaires sans écrans et de pratiquer des activités qui favorisent le bien-être, comme le sport ou la méditation. À une époque où l'information est omniprésente, apprendre à filtrer et à se déconnecter devient une compétence essentielle pour protéger notre cerveau. Hébergé par Acast.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a text*Bonus Episode for Subscribers*In this episode of Causes or Cures, we dive into the "War on Misinformation" and unravel its complexities. Is misinformation truly an "infodemic," like a virus infecting our brains? Is the militaristic approach missing the mark? We explore how misinformation is policed online, the rise of fact-checkers, and some of the biggest misinformation scandals, including the opioid epidemic and the tobacco industry's attempts to define "sound science" while squelching the truth about second-hand smoke as a carcinogen.Could our obsession with debunking and banning misinformation be a costly, unwinnable war? If we cannot agree on a definition of "misinformation," is this a wise public health battle to pursue, especially given the historical shortage of funding and staff? What roles should fact-checkers, tech companies, and governments play in policing knowledge, particularly in America, a country that deeply values personal liberties? Dr. Eeks also shares personal anecdotes, including her perspective on religious information and how nuns served as her fact-checkers growing up.We also highlight the blurred lines between truth and deception in health and geopolitics. From covert anti-vaccine propaganda campaigns to the false statistics that fueled the opioid crisis, we ask: Can any one entity be trusted to define what's true? Additionally, we will review expert insights from a previous podcast guest to better understand what's truly at stake in this ongoing battle.Subscribe and tune in for a deep dive into how misinformation has become a defining issue of our time and what it means for the future of public health and freedom of thought.*Disclaimer: This podcast consists entirely of my own thoughts and does not reflect the views of anyone or any organization I work with or consult for.*New* SUBSCRIBE for ALL Bonus Episodes!You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here.
In the realm of public safety, meteorology has undergone a radical shift in its approach to public communication which stands in stark contrast to the often conservative stance taken by public health officials, who sometimes prioritize preventing panic over providing clear, actionable information. As we navigate an era of increased public awareness and mistrust about health crises, Dr. Caitlin Rivers emphasizes how it's time to reassess how we communicate potential threats and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their well-being.

Young people have lots of questions about diet, exercise, and sexual health. TikTok is one of their most trusted venues for finding out information.“They'll go to TikTok and ask questions,” says Nicole O'Donnell, assistant professor at Washington State University's Edward R. Murrow College of Communication. “They're learning about health mostly through other people's stories rather than some of the traditional health information you might get online.”But are they getting good health advice? In a recent study, O'Donnell analyzed health content on TikTok. Influencers with motivational stories were prevalent, while content from credentialed health providers was lacking.In this episode, she talks with Washington State Magazine science writer Becky Kramer about the potential pitfalls of teens relying on influencers for health information—particularly if the influencers are selling products.O'Donnell also has advice for public health officials working on teen outreach. Short TikTok videos are effective at reaching young people. And personal stories count, she says.

She shares her personal journey of struggling with depression and anxiety and how she found success in applying behavior change techniques to her own life. She emphasizes the importance of awareness, values, and cognitive flexibility in making lasting changes.

She offers practical tips for overcoming common challenges and setting effective goals.Key Takeaways:Awareness is the first step in behavior change. Recognize your thoughts, feelings, and actions to gain control over your behavior.Avoidance-focused goal setting focuses on what you don't want. Shift your focus to what you do want and set goals aligned with your values.Cognitive flexibility is the ability to be flexible with your plans and goals. Embrace imperfection and adapt to changing circumstances.Don't believe everything you think. Challenge negative thoughts and ask if they are helpful or aligned with your values.Change takes time.

On a topic near and dear to her, in this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with "misinformation scientist" Dr. Sacha Altay on what we are getting wrong about misinformation. This podcast will focus on his and his peers' paper published in the journal Social Media and Society titled Misinformation on Misinformation: Conceptual and Methodological Challenges. His article identifies 6 big misconceptions about misinformation and provides a lot to think about when it comes to our current aproaches to identifying and managing misinformation. In the podcast, Sacha will discuss some of the misconceptions about misinformation when it comes to prevalence and circulation, as well as misconceptions associated with impact and reception. Essentially, concerns with how we are measuring the impact of misinformation and communicating that to the public. He will then discuss how the aformentioned things are associated with misinterpretation of research results. Finally, he will suggest a better path forward when it comes to misinformation. Dr. Altay is an experimental psychologist working on misinformation, misperceptions, and (dis)trust. After completing his PhD in Cognitive Science at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, he did a postdoc in Oxford at the Reuters Institute.

How do you experience stress? Does it come from a hard day at work? Or being stretched too thin supporting others? Worrying about food? Living in a difficult environment? So many factors can contribute to stress, and we're all feeling it. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee believes our stress levels are higher than ever and that it's making us sicker. Dr. Chatterjee is a physician who practices lifestyle medicine, meaning he treats his patients with chronic conditions in part through helping them live healthier, happier lives – which includes less stress. In this episode, the Surgeon General and Dr. Chatterjee explore the impact of stress on the body, the journey of wellness/lifestyle medicine, and what makes them feel passionate about being doctors. As they reach into personal stories to explain how and why they care for people, Dr. Chatterjee reveals his frustration with how the medical establishment has historically treated lower-income people and his firm belief in making great medical information available to all.
