Effects of Overstimulation on the Brain and Mental Health
Overstimulation, from various sources such as social media, ultra-processed foods, and pornography, can have negative effects on our brain and mental health. Excessive stimulation prevents us from processing our emotions and events, leading to challenges in emotional regulation. Big media giants and technology play a role in competing for our attention, exacerbating the negative impact. To combat this, it is important to create time to decompress and engage in activities that promote emotional well-being.
