Since climate change affects psychiatric, neurological and neuropsychological disorders, as well as brain development, the Irish Doctors for the Environment working group on mental health has changed its title and remit to brain health. Mental health professionals need to respond coherently and effectively to the climate crisis. This need challenges traditional professional, disciplinary and academic boundaries and demands a holistic, person-centred approach. We propose that meeting this challenge is vital if the public, policy-makers and legislators are to grasp the full extent of the significance of climate's impact on brain health.
由于气候变化会影响精神、神经和神经心理障碍以及大脑发育,爱尔兰环境医生心理健康工作组已更改其名称和职责范围,改为关注大脑健康。心理健康专业人员需要对气候危机做出协调一致且有效的应对。这一需求挑战了传统的专业、学科和学术界限,要求采取整体的、以人为本的方法。我们认为,如果公众、政策制定者和立法者要全面理解气候对大脑健康影响的重要意义,应对这一挑战至关重要。
