Content Stats & Analytics for @drtaraswart

This is why I, a neuroscientist (and every other neuroscientist I know!) avoids watching the news… The human brain has a negativity bias. This means it tends to give more attention to negative experiences than positive ones. The news often focuses on distressing and traumatic events, this can trigger this bias and cause us to release spikes of stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. This reaction was adaptive for our ancestors who needed to be on high alert for physical threats, but in the context of the modern world, this response contributes to chronic stress and anxiety. On a neurological level, avoiding exposure to continual and repetitive, emotive stressors will help to maintain a healthier mental state. I do look on social media obviously, and my friends and family let me know if there’s something I need to be informed of ❤️ . . .#neuroscientist #brainhacks #neuroscience #brainscience #hormones #mindful #negativitybias #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth
