Psychiatric News (6/23) reports a new APA Health Minds poll found that 55% of adults “believe climate change is impacting Americans’ mental health, while four in 10 adults say they have personally experienced effects on their mental health.” According to the poll, 35% of respondents “worry about climate change on a weekly basis, indicating that for many, this is a persistent source of stress.” Meanwhile, 18% of respondents “said climate change was having a significant impact on their mental health, with 26% saying it was having somewhat of an impact.” The data also “highlighted generational and parental divides in perceptions of climate change’s mental health impact. Younger adults ages 18 to 34 were significantly more likely than those 65 or older to report that climate change is affecting their personal mental health (65% versus 30%). Parents (52%) were significantly more likely than non-parents (42%) to report climate change is currently impacting their mental health. (SOURCE: APA Headlines)
