漫步林中可以治抑郁症
最近英国一家重量级心理健康团体指出，如果感觉心情抑郁，不妨到附近的绿树丛中走走，以消除你的忧郁心情。目前，绿林漫步已经成为抗抑郁症的有效方法之一，因此，该机构呼吁医生采纳此处方。
在欧洲，对于心理疾病患者来说，类似“到关爱农场走走”的处方已经相当成功，但在英国还没有此类案例。不过，“环境疗法”填补了此类空白。经过最近两个相关研究之后，该团体发现，“环境疗法”可以帮助数百万计的心理疾病患者，并且很多情况下，效果明显。
该团体负责人保罗?发姆指出，他们把“环境疗法”视为未来心理疾病治疗的重要部分，因为它是一个被医学界认可的可靠疗法，并且可以由医师来开处方，特别适合当前情况。
英格兰东部艾塞克斯大学的学者负责上述两次研究工作。在第一项研究中，他们对20位有心理健康问题的志愿者进行了研究，让他们分别在乡间绿树丛中和室内购物中心散步30分钟，然后进行心理状态的测试。结果发现，林中漫步者中，有71%的人感觉抑郁程度减低，更有90%的人感觉自信心增加。而在室内购物中心散步的人就没有这样幸运了，他们中间只有22%的人感觉压力减少，50%的人感觉更有压力，有44%的人自信减少。
第二项研究则针对108位心理健康出问题的人，结果有94%的人表示，“绿色运动”提升了他们的精神状态。
该机构表示，每年英国医生开出的抗抑郁处方非常多，去年有3100万张，今年比去年又增加了6%，其中除了药物，医生没有其他方法可选。但事实上，便宜的“环境疗法”不但可以减少支出，而且随时可行，且没有副作用。
