Vizionarea nesfârșită a videoclipurilor scurte poate duce la epuizare și depresie, arată un studiu • Newsweek România

A recent study indicates that endless viewing of short videos can lead to cognitive fatigue and depression. This phenomenon, termed 'brain drain', is linked to professional burnout and increased anxiety. The constant consumption of low-quality digital content results in mental fog and fragmented attention, overwhelming the cognitive system. Unlike video game addiction, which involves active engagement, this passive scrolling diminishes voluntary self-control. The study highlights that this cognitive overload prevents the brain from processing information effectively, leading to significant mental health challenges.
