Can living near water help you reduce stress?

Actually, it can. Well, at least in Wellington, New Zealand.

Earlier this year, two New Zealand researchers and an American researcher published a study in the academic journal Health & Place, showing that having a view of water can improve mental health.

The researchers extracted topographical information of Wellington from national databases, mapping any forested areas, parks, and coastlines that would be visible to residents. Then they reviewed the 2011–12 New Zealand Health Survey, which included questions on health, lifestyle, doctor visits, socioeconomic status, chronic medical issues, and mental wellbeing for 442 Wellington residents. Finally, they combined and analyzed the topographical data and the health data.

They discovered that the more visible water was, the less psychological stress people had. So it looks like living near water can help you reduce stress. At least in Wellington.

Have you experienced depression? Take this survey

The Alberta Depression Research Priority Setting project invites you to take part in a survey.

Anxiety isn’t just panic attacks

People face anxiety-causing situations regularly. Expectations at school, work, or home, as well as in relationships can be particularly troubling. Whether we’re about to take a big test at school, interview for a new job, or propose to our significant other, it’s normal to be nervous and experience what people refer to as “butterflies in the stomach”.

It’s different with anxiety disorders. You’re not just nervous. Your feelings don’t go away. In fact, the anxiety can get worse and can negatively affect your overall health.

4 ways to cheer up when you’re depressed

It’s normal for each of us to feel blue or sad. When our best friend moves away, or we lose a job, or we receive a poor mark on a test, we all feel disappointment or hurt. We may be despondent, and it may even get us down for a few days.

Depression, on the other hand, lasts much longer. Plus, it’s so pervasive, that it can interfere with your daily life routines, and it can even adversely affect your relationships with family,

8 causes of mental fatigue, and how to deal with them

We all feel tired at some time during the day. Then at night, you go to sleep, then arise after a good night’s sleep.

But some feel tired for weeks. If that’s the case, mental fatigue—or a lack of energy and motivation—may be the culprit. Mental fatigue can also cause temporary lapse in cognitive performance.
