B1 – Intermediate<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the recent years, there has been an increase in the number of people affected by ecological anxiety or eco-anxiety. This is a relatively new medical condition. A person suffers from it when all the extreme weather and climate changes and other environmental issues make them feel nervous or anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps it is time to start acknowledging that this condition is real and affects many people. Medical experts need to be prepared to offer help to people with this condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the UK, if you go for a health consultation related to eco-anxiety, the doctor could give you a medical diagnosis, some advice on what to do to reduce your negative impact on the environment, and some tips on how to manage eco-anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the article about how doctors in the UK have been advised to start treating eco-anxiety patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
