## Resource

New research from Australia reveals a shocking link: extreme heat is doubling hospital admissions for mental health crises in young people under 25. Analyzing over 700,000 cases, scientists found that during the hottest 1% of days, serious conditions like depression, anxiety, and self-harm spike dramatically. As climate change intensifies heatwaves, experts warn this trend could worsen by century’s end—highlighting the urgent need to integrate mental health into climate preparedness. Heat isn’t just causing physical strain; it’s disrupting sleep, increasing impulsivity, and driving risky coping behaviors. This is a wake-up call for communities and health systems to rethink how they support youth in the face of rising temperatures.
