Cum ne afectează valurile de căldură sănătatea mintală: psihologii avertizează asupra anxietății climatice

Psychologists warn that repeated heatwaves significantly impact mental health, leading to increased climate anxiety among individuals, particularly the young and women. This condition is characterized by fear and helplessness regarding climate change effects. Studies indicate that about 4.6% of the UK population experiences climate anxiety, recognized by health organizations. Extreme heat exacerbates anxiety and negative thoughts, with some individuals even contemplating drastic life changes. Experts suggest discussing fears, engaging in environmental activities, and managing body temperature to mitigate these effects.
