Abstract
Mental health disorders are a substantial portion of the global disease burden, and the treatment gap is higher in developing countries. Accounting for location and year of birth fixed effects, we find temperature shocks in utero increase depressive symptoms in adulthood using data on 19 African countries. Impacts are present for several depressive symptoms, and are greatest in younger cohorts.
