News reading 3- The article states that people with mental illnesses and personality disorders are helped when in greener areas. It talks about how nature is a good boost for their mental and emotional states. They had found that rates of depression and/or anxiety would be lower in children raised in greener neighborhoods. It would show that they wouldn't be diagnosed with any mental illness. So with children being surrounded with higher levels of green space and then comparing to children that aren't around a good amount of green space, they hit a 55% chance of being diagnosed with a mental illness. They had done a study where they chose over 500 lots and either cleaned or greened them. They also did a poll on the residents before and after the transition to see how it helped them mentally. It was stated that, "residents of neighborhoods where lots had been greened were much healthier psychologically." The data also showed that, "Around greened lots the levels of feeling "depressed" dropped by 42 percent, feeling "worthless" by 51 percent, and having generally "poor mental health" by 63 percent." I like the thought of this study and the findings that came with it. I in a way do see where being around greener, more full of nature areas would help with someone's mental health. My dad lives out by the pactola reservoir, so when I drive out there, there's such a beautiful calming setting around me. It makes me feel more at peace with everything around me. there are hardly ever any cars driving past our house and that's relieving to me to not here the sounds of loud cars flying past our house. The sound of hearing birds chirp and the fresh smell of the morning breeze is just amazing. I personally agree to this study and what it's found out.
