Climate Change Linked to Worsening Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders

New studies reveal increased risks for conditions like stroke, dementia, and epilepsy due to extreme temperatures and weather events.

Research indicates higher temperatures and weather variations exacerbate neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis.
Patients with dementia are particularly vulnerable to temperature extremes and severe weather due to impaired adaptive behaviors.
Heatwaves and high nighttime temperatures can disrupt sleep, worsening conditions like epilepsy and depression.
The global scale of affected individuals is significant, with millions at risk as climate change progresses.
Experts call for tailored public health measures and climate action to mitigate these health impacts.
