Solastalgia
Mental or existential distress caused by environmental change
Mental or existential distress caused by environmental change
Solastalgia () is a hypothesized form of emotional or existential distress caused by negatively perceived environmental change. The term is a portmanteau of the Latin words sōlācium (solace or comfort) or solus (desolation) with meanings connected to devastation, deprivation of comfort, abandonment and loneliness, and the Greek root -algia (pain, suffering, grief). A distinction can be made between solastalgia as the lived experience of negatively perceived change in the present, and eco-anxiety linked to worry or concern about what may happen in the future (associated with "pre-traumatic stress", in reference to post-traumatic stress).
