Abstract

Bhutan remains a largely non-industrialized country, making minimal contributions to global warming and climate change. Yet, the country suffers from the clutches of the adverse effects of climate change. Among them, the impact of climate change on mental health including psychological distress, acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder is well known. In this article, we aim to describe the various mental health issues that the country is facing or is likely to face in the future as a result of climate change.
