Eco-anxiety is a disorder that is still little known, including among health professionals. It is believed to be increasingly widespread in the population in recent years.
More than half of young people aged 16 to 25 say they are very worried about climate change and for 35% of them it goes even further. Fortunately, like most anxiety disorders, there are medical solutions to treat this disorder, says Professor Antoine Pelissolo, head of the psychiatry department at the Henri Mondor hospital in Créteil.
