It's important to recognize that they're not necessarily classified as mental illnesses. So eco-anxiety, as the name implies, is that you know people feel anxious with regards to changes in our environment.
Ever felt a wave of anxiety wash over you when thinking about the future of our planet? You're not alone. In this episode of People First Radio, Natania Abebe, a registered nurse from Ottawa, dives into the growing issue of eco-anxiety and its impact on mental health. She introduces us to 'psychoterratic syndromes', a term coined by Dr. Glenn Albrecht, to describe the psychological effects of climate change.
Natania doesn't just highlight the problem; she offers practical advice and tools to help manage these feelings. From creating a toolkit filled with resources and activities to advocating for mindful media consumption, Natania shares strategies that can make a real difference. She also stresses the importance of advocacy and taking action to foster positive change. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the state of our environment and looking for ways to cope.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and tips on maintaining mental health while staying engaged in the fight for a sustainable future.
