AN EMERGING DISORDER LINKED TO CLIMATE CHANGE. Eco-anxiety is the chronic fear of an environmental disaster, particularly in relation to global warming. Emerging in the 1990s, this concern is increasingly developing in all countries, especially among younger generations. It is not currently recognized as a diagnosis in psychiatric classifications, but some people (about 3% of the population) experience significant suffering and symptoms that can impair their quality of life. The role of the physician is then to look for an underlying anxiety or depressive disorder, or to assess the intensity of a possible specific Eco-anxiety Disorder. Treatment is based primarily on psychotherapeutic listening, stress and anxiety management methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy aimed at giving the patient better control over their emotions and means of action.
一种与气候变化相关的新出现的病症。生态焦虑是对环境灾难的长期恐惧，尤其是与全球变暖相关的恐惧。这种担忧在20世纪90年代出现，在所有国家都日益凸显，尤其是在年轻一代中。目前在精神疾病分类中它不被视为一种诊断，但有些人（约占人口的3%）经历着严重的痛苦和症状，这些症状会损害他们的生活质量。此时医生的职责是寻找潜在的焦虑或抑郁障碍，或者评估可能存在的特定生态焦虑症的严重程度。治疗主要基于心理治疗倾听、压力和焦虑管理方法，以及旨在让患者更好地控制自己情绪和行动方式的认知行为疗法。
