Take control of your mental well-being

Why Political Stress is Affecting So Many of Us

Political stress isn’t just about watching the news—it’s about how it impacts your daily life. Studies show that:

  • Over 60% of Americans say politics is a major source of stress in their lives (American Psychological Association).
  • Doomscrolling and media overload increase anxiety, frustration, and a sense of helplessness.
  • Unresolved political discussions with family, friends, and colleagues create emotional strain and even relationship conflict.

If you’re feeling mentally drained, anxious, or burnt out from political discussions and news cycles, it’s time to take a step back and focus on what you can control.
