'Eco Anxiety': what it means, and what to do about it - with Dr Catriona Mellor

We hear a lot about 'eco anxiety' - but what does it mean? 

Our health is intrinsically linked to the health of the planet. But how do we manage those feelings when it all gets a bit overwhelming? Sophie and Eva chat to Dr Catriona Mellor, a Child and Adolescent psychiatrist, who specialises in understanding how the climate and ecological crisis can affect our mental health at any age. Dr Mellor seeks to offer training and insight for other medical clinicians, to develop practical 'toolkits' to manage human fear and distress for the health of the planet. 

In a truly fascinating and moving discussion, this episode hopes to offer a solution-based approach to a sensitive, and very real issue. 

Coming up: will Sophie regain her lead in the #FactOff, and put Eva's knowledge to the test in a quiz?
