Depression and anxiety symptoms linked to reduced information-seeking behavior

Depression and anxiety appear to impact every aspect of our lives! 

A new study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry indicates that information-seeking behavior is related to symptoms of emotional disorders. The research found that greater depression and anxiety symptoms are associated with both a reduced tendency to gather more information in situations of uncertainty and a reduced tendency to rely on current knowledge to efficiently seek out reward.
