Updated:Israel and GazaViolent and graphic images are flooding social media, something researchers warn can take a toll on your mental health. People say it's difficult to balance staying informed and managing mental health.
"I've been seeing a whole lot of war being pushed out lately," said Terrell Kinder."It's a whole lot of bombing." of exposure to graphic images following the September 11 attacks finds people suffered physical and psychological effects as if they were exposed to the trauma directly. "Anything with the human trafficking that I've been seeing going on around it because I have a little girl and she's six and she's so trusting in the entire world," Thomas said.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker Colleen Rodriguez, who is the CEO of LJD Jewish Family and Community Services, says to pay attention if you need a break from social media and discuss with your kids what they're seeing online. Teenagers can spend eight and a half hours on social media a day,"As a parent, you really need to limit what your children can take in," Rodriguez said.
