Dr. Virani focuses on the impact of Climate Change, and
associated emergent anxieties, on our underlying mental health.
Climate Change is affecting our livelihoods, our environments and
our perceptions of the future; with implications on how we act and
how we perceive our day-to-day lives. Virani (and guests) consider
examples of patients presenting with climate-change specific
conditions, discuss case-histories, and look for evidence that
organizations are acting to address the causes and effects of
Climate Change.
