More trees in the neighbourhood may help against depression in later life

Living in a wooded environment could have positive effects on the mental health of the elderly. According to research published by Vietnam.vn, people who live near many trees may suffer less from depressive symptoms.

The research suggests that a green environment has a positive influence on well-being. Although the exact mechanisms are not clear, it is assumed that natural environments reduce stress and improve overall quality of life.

Although the study is interesting, it is important to emphasise that this research is not yet definitive. More research is needed to further explore the links between green spaces, age and mental health.
