Can living near parks and lakes boost your mental health? A 10-year study says yes
A decade-long study involving 2.3 million adults in Wales found that greater exposure to green and blue spaces (GBS) is linked to reduced rates of common mental disorders (CMD), particularly among socio-economically deprived individuals. The findings suggest that increased access to GBS not only has mental health benefits but can also offer additional ecological advantages, informing policymakers on the value of GBS in community planning.
