Beyond environmental and physical impacts, climate change significantly affects mental health, leading to "climate anxiety" characterized by dread, hopelessness, and sleep issues. Psychotherapists like Leslie Davenport note patients' ambient anxiety, likening these feelings to the stages of grief for environmental and lifestyle loss.
