Shownotes

Neuroscientist and science communicator Sarah McKay examines the impact of digital overload on mental health.

Our evolutionary history has not prepared us to manage the relentless influx of information from technology — a fundamental mismatch that can deteriorate mental wellbeing.

Sarah discusses how the brain responds to the constant barrage from a neuroscience perspective and the potential mental health risks associated with excessive tech consumption.


Join us to explore:

  • Impact of digital overload on mental health
  • How our brains function & respond to digital stimuli
  • Dealing with grief
  • Sleep, nutrition, exercise & spending time in nature
  • Benefits of real-world interactions on mental wellbeing
