The air hangs heavy with the weight of a world on fire. From raging wildfires to devastating floods, the headlines scream of climate change's relentless march. Yet, beyond the immediate devastation, there is an invisible crisis unfolding - a crisis of our minds, our hearts, our very sense of belonging on this planet.

We are living through a period of unprecedented environmental upheaval, and its impact on our mental health is undeniable. The term "climate anxiety" has emerged as a powerful descriptor for the mounting unease, fear, and despair that accompany witnessing the ecological crisis unfolding around us. This anxiety is not a sign of weakness; it is a natural and understandable response to the profound existential threat posed by climate change.

"Meltdown: The Climate Crisis and Mental Health" is a guide for navigating this complex and emotionally charged terrain. It is a space for understanding the psychological impacts of climate change, for exploring the roots of our anxieties, and for finding pathways to resilience and hope.
