    BUT WE REALIZE THAT WE
    IF WE KNOW WE FEEL BAD ARE COMFORTABLE THE

    WE ARE NOT DIRECTLY
    PROBLEMS AND INSTEAD OF
    LIVING THOSE PROBLEMS,

    SOMETHING IT AND NOT NECESARILY
    GOOD TO HELP WORRY ABOUT THE
    REALITY AND THINK IN
    SOLUTIONS.
    WHAT ACTIONS
    SHOULD BE
    TAKEN

    Principal companies getting


    benefited from the
    "Doomscrolling" are not
    getting compromised with
    the mental health care of
    their people.

    Social media companies


    are fully part of the problem
    and not of the soultion at
    all.
    REALIZING ABOUT THE
    ONE STEP ADDICTION TO BAD
    NEWS.

    AT A TIME...
    ANALYZE WHAT WE CAN
    DO IN THE POSITION WE
    ARE.

    TRY TO EXTEND THE


    INFORMATION IN A GOOD
    WAY JUST TO MAKE
    CONSCIOUS.
