How does heat impact anxiety?

Panic Attack

Have a look at this article from BBC news about how heat impacts anxiety and can be isolating.

“The hot weather and high temperatures can trigger anxiety and other mental health problems, according to new research from Oxford University.

Lauren Murphy, from Southampton, has anxiety and agoraphobia, a disorder defined by an intense fear of feeling trapped.

The heat can trigger this feeling of panic, making her feel “really isolated” and like she cannot breathe.” BBC News – August 2026
