Overview

Narrative review highlights climate change's effects on mental health, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Key Points

  • Climate change significantly affects mental health, contributing to increased rates of depression and PTSD.
  • Literature suggests that for every one-degree Celsius rise in temperature, mental health problems increase by about 0.9%.
  • This narrative review synthesizes research from PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect published over the last decade.
  • Policymakers must consider mental health in climate adaptation strategies to support affected populations.
