You’re Not Imagining It, Climate Change IS Messing With Your Mental Health

You’re Not Imagining It, Climate Change IS Messing With Your Mental Health

As temperatures and sea levels rise, the effects of climate change are being felt in weather patterns, natural disasters, and in both public and personal mental health. We talk with Dr. Caroline Carney, President of Behavioral Health and Chief Medical Officer at Magellan Health in Phoenix about the connection between your mind and the dire conditions Earth is facing. She says the damage is being done by the traumatic effects of fires, floods, and other severe weather incidents but also by the gnawing anxiety that the future holds more extreme and changing conditions that we’ll have to deal with in ever-increasing amounts. Dr. Carney offers advice on what you can do as an individual to understand and address what’s happening and she offers insight into how the medical community is doing with confronting these crises.
