🏥 Health
Dr. Ankur Bindal explained that extreme heat upsets brain chemicals and can cause anger, anxiety, and memory problems, especially in people with existing mental health issues.
Studies show a small rise in temperature can increase crime rates, so experts advise everyone to stay indoors during peak heat hours and drink plenty of water (to avoid dehydration affecting medications).
