Heatwaves are causing increasing climate anxiety

Heatwaves are causing increasing psychological stress, particularly among young people and women, with some cases developing into serious mental health issues. Psychologists note that climate anxiety is becoming more common, especially after experiencing extreme weather events like heatwaves or floods. This anxiety often involves fear of future environmental disasters. Some individuals respond by feeling helpless, while others seek practical solutions. Ecologist Francis Windram moved to a cooler region due to frequent heatwaves but still worries about older family members who cannot afford cooling devices. Pregnant women and new mothers are also affected, worrying about how climate change will impact their children's lives. Experts recommend addressing climate anxiety through community support, actionable steps like planting trees or supporting environmental initiatives, and maintaining physical well-being through hydration and cooling measures.
