UC Irvine researchers say repeated exposure to graphic photos and videos is being linked to psychological distress. Here's how and when to cut back.
Photos showing the bloodied face of former President Trump have been plastered across social media platforms and news outlets in recent days, along with a video of his alleged assailant opening fire at the candidate during a rally Saturday in Pennsylvania. Also inescapable were images of the three other people shot at the event, one fatally, and of the alleged shooter's body after he was killed by snipers.
To keep up to date with current events, Silver says she reads new articles online and chooses not to view images or video that include violence. Another way Silver dodges graphic content is by staying off social media. But many people don't have the ability to shield themselves from the proliferation of graphic images online, so Holman said it's important to recognize how your body is reacting to the exposure.
