The WHO has chosen the theme “Our Planet, Our Health” to commemorate World Health Day today, 7th April, 2022. Thus, we will be focusing on our planet, our mental health, and how climate change affects our mental health. According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), climate change is a growing public health concern, particularly for mental health. Anxiety-related reactions and persistent and severe mental health problems are caused by climate change and related disasters. Climate change has far-reaching repercussions on our health – including mental health.
