[The Allgäu Turns into the Sahelzone - Climate Change-Related Symptoms in the Context of a Severe Depressive Episode with Psychotic Symptoms].

The climate crisis with its already obvious effects in many areas of life, e. g. heat waves, flood disasters, etc., is becoming increasingly important in its consequences for health, media presentation and public perception. Based on the fact that symptoms of mental illness are dependent on the interplay of socio-cultural and biographical factors in terms of their content, this casuistry describes the course of treatment of a 59-year-old man with a severe depressive episode and the delusional conviction that the landscape of the Allgäu will turn into a landscape like the Sahel due to the climate crisis.
