Title talks about screentime, but article only focuses on mobile phones and doom scrolling. I was surprised to see the recommendation of max 2h screen time per day for an adult at the bottom. The link leads to a page not mentioning this though.

I spend already ~5h staring at screens for work. At home my biggest screen time is watching videos on TV. I don't think I ever doom-scrolled on my phone. I do read lots of news articles on it though. Article seems to not be addressing people like me.

The link mentions: "Health experts say screen time at home should be limited to two hours or less a day" -- https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/wecan/reduce-sc...

Maybe doomscrolling is reading too many news for you? Or do you think it's not too excessive?

When I’m doom scrolling it’s almost exclusively news. I’m not all that interested in short videos, social media, or other scrollable things. News is my weakness. Last month I was pretty bad about reading news about the USA. I’ve mostly recovered. It’s easy to convince yourself it matters (especially compared to watching shorts) but the reality is that for me, it’s bordering irrelevant. I live in Canada. There’s nothing I can do about the USA. Just focus on what’s here and now.
