Canada’s climate is getting hotter and wetter and it may have an impact on your mental health.
That’s what experts are warning as Canada’s climate continues to shift dramatically, causing severe flooding in many parts of the country, and even droughts and fires in parts of the Prairies and the West Coast.
It’s extreme weather events like those experienced in the 2016 wildfires in Fort McMurray and the 2013 floods in Toronto that can trigger mental-health disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
And while some may believe these events are few and far between, they are actually becoming more frequent, and will continue to grow in frequency every year, Environment Canada says.
Not only can extreme weather events bring on new mental-health issues, but they can also exacerbate existing conditions by triggering symptoms, not to mention disrupt the medical care of patients, says Dr. Georgia Pomaki, leader of mental-health specialists at Group Disability Benefits at Manulife.
“We have extreme situations where people flee from a fire [for example] and they’re trying to save their own life,” Pomaki says. “In these cases, it was a risk to their life and that can cause PTSD.”
Those who are more likely to experience the effects of climate change are those who live in forested areas, live at water’s edge and whose livelihood or recreation is affected by rapid or slow changes in plants and animals most important to them. City dwellers who live on low-lying land (like Richmond, B.C. for example) are also more likely to feel the effects as well.

Funny, I just thought I was constantly depressed becuase of the far left world I have to live in.
One of several propaganda global warming articles today.
So....fewer blizzards or frigid gray days is bad for you?
Who knew?
Where are my crocodile tears? LOL
It begs the question, do they think we are that stupid, to believe this?
I saw climate change made your Prime Minister Trudeau not only insane but made his eyebrows fall off.
Next they’ll say that “climate change” caused the election of Trump.
That ought to chase the blues away for you.
So move a little north, you’ve got plenty of room. And think about the people in the tropics, who all died years ago!
Weather has always been depressing some of the time.
Consider the island where it rains almost all the time.
I moved away from Buffalo. Winter 6 months of the year is very depressing.
Already happened with DeLirium, BeeITCH, Maher, Penn, Griffith, Field, The Whoop, Borehar et al
Yes climate change causes depression. As soon as it becomes winter I am very depressed. :-(
We’re all gonna die, we’re all gonna die!

Some will/are more affected than others.....
This is Chicken Little in panic mode. It’s not the climate change that agitates them, it is the government funding that is drying up due to their credibility.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
It’s a mental illness to be so afraid of getting mental illnesses. There must be a phobia for that.
They will pass a resolution ordering the Sun to start making Sunspots
To prevent the next ice age.
The propaganda left has thrown a flurry of BS to deflect from the President’s historic success.
