In big cities people live in a state of emotional tension.
Experts from the University of Washington in the United States traced the relationship between the human environment and his psychological state. As it turned out, with various diseases of the psyche most often experienced by the inhabitants of large cities, while the inhabitants of small settlements mostly live in harmony with each other.
Researchers studied data of more than 6,000 medical records of Americans, and came to the conclusion that the most common psychological problems experienced by the inhabitants of the cities. According to experts, the main culprit of this trend is a too fast pace of life and excessive workload in the workplace.
According to scientists, when the person is experiencing ongoing physical and emotional stress, it can cause problems with the cardiovascular system and disruption of endocrine functions. But first and foremost people with a predisposition to mental disorders, are faced with complex diseases of the nervous system.
But among the inhabitants of small provincial towns and villages mental health problems were recorded only in a few cases – all thanks to the measured pace of life. People are not in a hurry, they have no need to make decisions in a hurry, thanks to which the nervous system is practically not subjected to regular shocks.
In addition, great importance in this matter is played by the transition to adulthood: children from birth living in Metropolitan areas, often face psychological disorders, barely crossed the threshold of adulthood. For this reason, researchers recommend families with kids to move to live in a little town. If this is not possible, it is important to at least take the kids to spend the summer with grandparents in the village where they will be able to spend a few months in harmony with nature and with themselves.
