Tunisie Telegraph: Impact of Heatwaves on Tunisian Mood and Tensions
This article explores the psychological effects of intense heatwaves in Tunisia, with a focus on how high temperatures lead to increased stress, rapid anger, and sleep disturbances, which negatively impact mood, behavior, and relationships. It explains that elevated stress hormones and decreased serotonin levels during heatwaves cause irritability and a lack of patience. Additionally, sleep disruptions result in fatigue and have adverse effects on concentration and emotional regulation. The heat may also worsen symptoms of pre-existing mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, and increase the risk of manic episodes and schizophrenia. Preventive measures are recommended, including drinking water, reducing sun exposure, sleeping in a cool environment, and practicing relaxation techniques—especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly and those with mental health disorders—to help mitigate the mental health impacts of heatwaves.
