Căldura extremă afectează și sănătatea mintală. Tot mai mulți oameni dezvoltă anxietate

Psychologists warn that repeated heatwaves significantly impact mental health, leading to increased climate anxiety among individuals. This condition is characterized by fear and helplessness regarding climate change effects. A study indicates that about 4.6% of Britons experience climate anxiety, with women and youth being the most affected. The phenomenon of anticipatory anxiety is also rising, where individuals fear the recurrence of extreme weather events. Experts suggest discussing these concerns, engaging in environmental protection activities, and managing body temperature during heatwaves to mitigate anxiety.
