Lately many problems experienced by my patients uncomfortable linked by news they read on social media.
Some of them are very much affected by the flow of information that are often confused and confusing about what is gained from social media. Some examples of cases are listed below.

My patient is male 40s. Patients were taken by her family because of recent looked confused and started talking about the chaotic situation that he imagined would happen. This condition is triggered by the news that a patient visits related to large demonstrations in recent years.
Flow of information he can from exacerbating social media what he could before the news on television. Mazy opinion on social media plus the news is not true (hoax) that he read made him more confused.
At one point he told the family of a theory of saving the state where he would lead the rescue effort. He believes only he is capable of doing that and very sure of his efforts.
