As physical health gets worse and is less curable, mental stability starts to deteriorate. As extreme heat makes landscapes dry, nature is more prone to fire.

Some patients with mental illness are especially susceptible to heat.

Suicide rates vary with weather, rising with high temperatures, suggesting potential impacts from climate change on depression and other mental illnesses.
