What current events are keeping Americans up at night? The economy, gun violence, and hate crimes top the list, results from a newly released American Psychiatric Association (APA) survey showed.
Anxiety about international conflicts — namely, the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars — also remains high.
“While we like to stay informed, the news can also impact our mental health, and being mindful of that impact is important. If current events seem overwhelming it may be time to limit your news consumption,” APA CEO and Medical Director Marketa M. Wills, MD, MBD, said in a statement.
Survey results also revealed the election and the holidays were common sources of stress.

Thankfully I don’t have those anxieties. I limit the time I watch news shows and I try not to worry about things I can’t control.
I rarely read Medscape, I find too much slanted articles on it. I use it to look up meds if I can’t find them on Epocrates. Cheers Lt Col Charlie Brown.
