Answer 1

Answer:

Natural disasters have harmful effects on health and mental health. Though most people will ultimately do well, many individuals impacted by extreme weather events and slower moving events such as droughts, experience a range of difficulties. The mental health consequences of events linked to a changing global climate include mild stress and distress, high-risk coping behavior such as increased alcohol use and, occasionally, mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.

Climate change-related impacts can also lead to job loss, force people to move, or lead to a loss of social support and community resources ,all of which have mental health consequences. In addition, anticipation of extreme weather events and concern about the phenomenon of climate change can be stressful. There are steps you can take to better prepare for disasters and to help yourself and your family when they do occur.
