Intersection Between Eco-Anxiety and Lexical Labels: A Study on Mental Health in Spanish-Language Digital Media
While eco-anxiety is not a clinical diagnosis, it exerts a significant psychological impact-particularly on youth and vulnerable groups. Spanish-language digital platforms play an ambivalent role, amplifying distress yet enabling resilience and collective action. Future interventions should leverage these channels to foster environmental awareness, emotional resilience, and civic engagement.
