I'm not sure, honestly. I don't have any references but there definitely is research about anxiety and depression caused by climate collapse. I know at least one psychotherapy professor (Netherlands) who specializes in this. There's a lot of literature. One of the terms often used is eco-anxiety.
The single best advice is to put limitations on your consumption of climate news. But it's highly personal, some people turn to activism to cope, facing the problem head-on. I did that, but it's very depressing honestly.
A powerful image my wife likes to use is sitting at a loved one's deathbed. You don't have hope, you know he or she is going to die, but that makes the remaining time extra special. We are all sitting at the deathbed of the world as we know it. That makes the time we have left extra precious. And we're running out of time.
