Investigating a possible aspect of the relationship between nature and mental health

I have always found being in contact with nature to be beneficial to my wellbeing, and I began to wonder if there might be a correlation between the presence of nature and overall wellbeing. To explore this idea, I decided to use forest area as a proxy for nature presence, and suicide rates as a potential negative proxy for wellbeing. While suicide rates are a poor measure of overall wellbeing due to their low resolution, I believe that this approach may help shed some light on the relationship between nature and mental health.

• Making this question more exact:

  • Is there a correlation between the extent of forested land in an area and the incidence of suicide? Well, apperently not (yey science!).

  • 🇧🇷 (PT-BR): Existe alguma relação entre área de mata e incidência de suicídio nos municípios brasileiros? (não tem).
