It is used to describe endlessly scrolling through negative or distressing news on social media or news apps, often despite feeling worse with each post. People typically say they are doomscrolling when they can't stop checking updates about crises, politics, or disasters even when it harms their mood or sleep. The term combines "doom" (disaster or gloom) with "scroll" (moving down a feed), and gained popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic and heightened political tensions in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
