Heat's Impact on Mental Health
Extreme heat presents challenges for those with psychiatric conditions and the general population. It can exacerbate existing mental health conditions and contribute to depressive phases, mania, and psychosis. Medication effectiveness can be reduced, and increased irritability, anxiety, and stress are common. Heat also poses risks for suicide, with rates increasing as temperatures rise. Sleep disturbances, medication side effects, and poor nutrition further contribute to mental health challenges.
