A leading psychologist has said he is ‘worried’ about the mental wellbeing of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Today, one of Australia’s most-high profile psychologists has said he is concerned that Greta, 16, is being used as a ‘political pawn’. Dr Michael Carr-Gregg said he was extremely concerned ‘about her going the same way as child TV stars’ and that she could ‘burn out’.

He said: ‘I’m not a climate changer denier, I actually think we do need to be doing more about saving the planet. ‘I just worry about the fact we use a kid like this, who arguably should be getting treatment because she’s said she’s had anorexia, said she’s had Asperger’s and said she’s battled depression.’

He added: ‘My criticism isn’t so much of her, but her parents and the climate change activists who use her shamelessly and I think that the Left can be somewhat hypocritical at times.’.

The psychologist said: ‘She’s now put herself at the centre of worldwide either Greta-phobia or Greta-mania and I don’t think any 16-year-old girl should be.’

Dr Carr-Gregg said he was wary of Greta's Asperger's and history of mental health in his analysis of the teenager, who he believes has a 'sense of entitlement'.

'As a parent, if this was my child, I'm not sure I'd be putting them on the world stage.'

Dr Carr-Gregg said he was worried about Greta's future, her current psychological health and how it would impact other young people.

'It sends a message to other teenagers that they can speak to adults in this very, very dismissive way',' he said.
