What's being denounced here is the absence of specific public policy to protect bodies under treatment, not the treatments themselves. /!\ Correction: the sentence from the Île-de-France Regional Health Observatory report that I quote (excess mortality in non-air-conditioned units) is a condensed paraphrase of a sentence that, in the report, refers to American studies on geriatric and psychiatric units, not directly to the Paris-area situation. What I take from this anyway is that the report, by October 2003, was aware of the American studies documenting this excess mortality but didn't bother to quantify the French equivalent, even though they were on the ground and capable of doing so. That failure to quantify is what the video denounces. 🌡️ Chapters: 00:00 The public health earthquake of the 2003 heatwave 02:24 The invisible excess mortality in psychiatry 04:04 One third of victims had a psychiatric diagnosis 05:15 Why does mental illness multiply the risks? 06:22 The forgotten people of the 2025 National Heatwave Plan 07:11 The political act of naming populations 09:40 The deaths we don't count (suicides and infections) 10:45 When heat makes the living suffer 12:11 Medication and heat: the effect of antipsychotics 14:45 Neurodivergence and thermoregulation (Autism, ADHD, Trauma) 16:26 The invisibilization of atypical bodies 17:13 Individual-scale solutions 21:05 Building a political community of survival 22:20 5 collective measures to save lives 27:50 Conclusion: 2003 wasn't an anomaly, it was a warning
