Watch Television
Close to 100% of Americans own a color television. Watching the tube is mind-numbing, at least in the sense that you are distracted from your own stresses. You may be focused on someone else's stress though: The evening news is hardly de-stressing.

但是经过好几年令人头脑麻木的药物治疗和长期的住院，她才认识到她唯一的希望

TV is not \"boring\". On the contrary, it is too interesting. So people can be absorbed in its programs. But they need not use their brain much when watching, just passively (yes, in this sense, watching TV is somewhat passive). I guess that what \"mind-numbing\" means

看电视可以麻痹（大脑）神经，至少可以将你的注意力从烦心琐事转移出来。

>>> 试译：看电视很乏味，但至少。。。不知是否说得通？
How about this? : 看电视使人精神麻木，起码从忘却自己烦恼的角度来说。
