Climate change is affecting brain health: Study

Hotter weather is likely to lead to more fatal or disabling strokes and can impact epilepsy, which is made worse by sleep deprivation.

Climate change’s impact on health has been well studied, particularly when it comes to infectious and respiratory diseases. More investigation is needed into the exact mechanism linking neurological disorders with higher temperatures, Prof Sisodiya added. The findings show weather impacts each disease in distinct ways, but most conditions are broadly associated with higher prevalence and worsened symptoms.

Incidence of mental health disorders, along with hospitalisation and risk of death, were associated most strongly with increased ambient temperature.One report surveyed in the new study showed that US health insurance claims on mental health-related emergency room visits between 2010 and 2019 increased on days with extreme heat.
