A new report says that weak social ties may be to blame for the higher rate of mental disorders in cities, for people are too occupied to connect with others. Thus, cities packed with people can actually make people feel disconnected, nameless and socially isolated.Dr Stanley Zammit of Cardiff University in Wales led the study published in Archives of General Psychiatry , where the goal of the research was to determine whether individual, school or area characteristics had a specific link to mental disease. Living in a city was associated with a 41 percent higher chance of mental disease compared to rural living. The team gathered data from more than 200, 000 people living in Sweden. Those individuals were all born between 1972 and 1977.The team analyzed factors related to the individuals, including the schools they attended and the neighborhoodsthey lived in. Out of all the factors examined, a weak social connection at the school level was the most significant. Kids who were immigrants, who changed cities between ages 8 and 16 or who were raised in a single-parent home suffer from a higher risk of mental disease.The finding suggests inviting a few friends to get out of the city for a walk in nature can reduce stress. Other studies have shown getting outdoors for some green exercise may help stop depression, too. It has also been shown that social networks provide support to improve mental health. In fact, a recent research showed happy people talk more.21.
