Urbanization and Mental Health

This paper covers the different aspects of levels of urbanization that could potentially affect mental health. This is evaluated by analyzing rates of depression and anxiety. Rapid urbanization is likely to expose the residences to more stress factors. These stress factors may appear in many aspects of their life that may affect their quality of living and overall lifestyle. These aspects of urban planning that may induce higher levels of mental health disorders are mentioned to explain why urbanization seems to influence mental health and ways that it can be resolved. Though further investigation is required to come up with a conclusion that may be generalized, it can be inferred that poorly planned rapid urbanization does seem to have a detrimental effect on mental health in general.
