The Russian invasion of Ukraine is now entering its seventh day, and hundreds of people have already lost their lives in the conflict.
Ukrainian cities are being bombarded by Putin's forces, and it is estimated that 2,000 civilians have been killed so far. And because of social media, we are subject to an endless stream of images of bombs devastating cities and heartbreaking stories of Ukranian lives thrown into chaos.
The situation is scary, and this can prompt us to endlessly check our phones for updates on the war - but this can be damaging for our mental health. In light of this, psychotherapist and psychologist at the University of Bristol, Dr Nilufar Ahmed, shared some advice with the Mirror about how to protect your own wellbeing in this time of crisis.
