WHAT IS CLIMATE ANXIETY?
‘Climate anxiety’ and ‘eco-anxiety’ are terms being used to describe feelings of anxiety, helplessness, stress, worry and frustration about the effects of climate change. There is growing research in this area to understand how concerns about climate change can significantly interfere with some people’s daily lives.
Concerns might include feeling hopeless or overwhelmed about the future, helpless there’s nothing that can be done, guilt about not doing enough to make a difference, worried about the future and frustrated and/or angry that not enough is being done.
These are normal responses to a serious problem, but for some people they can be hard to manage and can impact on their mental health and wellbeing.
