I have a friend of a friend who has described the same feeling. They weren't sure what to make of it.

I have the same feelings too.

In my case it is because of information being overwhelming. I just check a couple of sites at maximum now, the digital wellbeing thing that Google presented at io this year really resonated with me

I have the same feeling but am still guided by the monkey in my head that has the habit of checking everything. Any good replacement ideas for that dopamine hit?

Can you clarify what you mean? I doubt that deciding not to look at news sites on the internet is depression.
