Extreme Heat Poses Growing Threat to Mental Health
A recent review published in the journal American Psychologist highlights the severe impact of extreme heat on mental health. Rising temperatures are linked to worsening psychiatric conditions, increased aggression, and impaired cognitive functions. The review suggests that climate change poses widespread risks to the nervous system, affecting even those without prior psychological conditions. The findings emphasize the need for greater awareness of the mental health implications of climate change, as extreme heat is already recognized as a leading cause of weather-related deaths.
