Although this article was written a few years ago during a different difficult news cycle, the concepts discussed are highly relevant to today's news. The article references a 2016 study by the American Psychological Association that found that two-thirds of Americans were stressed over the future of the country, and the constant consumption of news was a major contributor to that stress. Dr. Steven Stosny coined the term "headline stress disorder" to describe the stress that is experienced as a result of news consumption. This article offers tips from mental health experts to help people stay informed while mitigating stress and anxiety. We hope that sharing this article offers some new ways of coping during this particularly challenging time.

Stress is a huge part of our daily life. I know that it is a bit hard to hear that, but it is the truth. There are people who go through a lot of stress in their daily life, and I want that to change. I want everyone to just change their ways. If we can get better, then that is what I want. I do not want anyone to go through the things that I have went through in my life.
