A "mental health crisis" among teenagers and twenty-somethings appears to be looming over "anxiety related to climate change," according to one psychologist.Not only is climate anxiety on the rise, says Geoff Beattie of the UK's Edge Hill University, but it can be "overwhelming" to the point of inflicting "a form of psychological eco-paralysis" comparable to the alienation felt by soldiers who survived World War I trench carnage.Some are so badly affected that their sleep and daily activities are affected, Beattie believes, lamenting in his book "Understanding Climate Anxiety" that sufferers get limited support or even understanding.Their condition is made worse by "many high-profile global figures dismissing the climate crisis as fiction" - though many such figures do not so much dismiss climate change as fiction, but question scientific evidence showing that human activities are the primary cause."We need people to overcome their feelings of helplessness through this disinhibition of thoughts and feelings," Beattie said, comparing the lack of recognition of climate anxiety to the sometimes indifferent reception given to wounded and shell-shocked soldiers upon their return home from World War I.Beattie's remarks came before at least 28 children and dozens of adults were killed over the July 4 holiday weekend in Texas flash floods, which experts say were made more intense by climate change.
