in addition, lead to chronic diseases and to a disease such as violent behaviours, becoming reckless, criminal, or addicted to drugs.

Given the destructive effects of stress, its reduction seems to be one of the main concerns of urban dwellers. Numerous studies have shown that constant presence in artificial environments leads to fatigue, decreased vitality, and human mental health.

Studies have shown that people have lower levels of anxiety, sadness, and stress after visiting the green space. 

Green space reduces children’s stress, for instance they show less stress when exposed to the natural environment.

Therefore, according to research, spending time in green space (meadows, public parks, forests) or even looking at nature, reduces stress, aggression, and violence, and with the return of youth leads to reconstructing the physiological and mentally state of the individual.

If you are careful, one of the direct treatments that doctors use to treat superficial to chronic depression, among other treatments, is to use green space.
