I spoke with a psychologist today who said that the hours and hours that people are spending watching the repeated broadcasts of the terrorist attacks is detrimental not only to general mental well being, but cognitive ability as well. He suggests that people limit the television watching, or at this point eliminating it altogether and getting news strictly from print and radio. There is nothing positive to be gained from watching the attack over and over again.
He also suggested that people of faith spend time in their places of worship, and for people in general to get away from the television and get together to discuss their feelings, vent, cry, etc.
