It is now claimed that the brains of Rural dwellers are wired up differently to those of Urban dwellers. The result? Rural dwellers suffer less stress and anxiety.
The fact that there are more suffering anxiety and mood disorders in cities - pro rata of the population, has long since been acknowledged. But that their brains should be wired up differently is new. This research by The Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal, Canada is worth checking out by those operating in this field. It could throw a very different light on the way we need to review and restructure urban living and treat sufferers. Schizophrenia is almost twice as often found in in individuals born and raised in cities. It is thought now that different regions of the brain are employed to cope with urban living.
