The Silent Mental Health Crisis of Climate Change

Many of those who survive the loss, devastation, and displacement of an extreme climate event — such as a flood, tornado, drought, or wildfire — experience anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and even suicidal thoughts. Similar mental illnesses are often found even when people are indirectly exposed to extreme climate events.
