When Gardening Turns Into Therapy
We adopted multiple ways to adapt to the lockdown lifestyle. One such way was gardening. This became a mechanism to cope with lockdown loneliness ad acted as an equivalent to therapy. Research has shown that therapeutic communal gardening reduced loneliness as the pandemic paralyzed the United Kingdom.
Therapeutic Gardening- A case study
The project monitored individuals with mental health concerns while they participated in Trust Links' therapeutic community gardens from 2019 to 2022.
People's self-reported life happiness and mental well-being increased by 9% as a result of sowing, planting, and tending to vegetables and flowers.
Nature-based Treatment for Mental Illness
Growing evidence supports the use of nature-based therapies for the treatment of mental illness.
Therapeutic community gardening has significantly improved social relationships. It also provided constructive activities, given people life purpose and hope, and allowed people to spend time in nature and the outdoors. Therefore it has enormous potential to be scaled up.

- Exercising later in the day: A study found that exercise in the afternoon or evening is associated with lower levels of insulin resistance than exercise dispersed throughout the day.
- Psychedelic curbs depression: In some difficult-to-treat patients, a single psychedelic experience with psilocybin, the mind-altering ingredient in magic mushrooms, appears to clear the fog of serious depression, according to a new clinical experiment.
- Autism: According to a new study, autism is a result of alterations in the cerebral cortex as a whole rather than just in certain regions.
- Breast Cancer survivorship: According to a study, the number of breast cancer survivors in Canada has increased by 2.5 times since 2007.

Foreign Accent Syndrome Imagine waking up with a French accent even when you've never been anywhere near France. If that’s the case then you may be experiencing foreign accent syndrome. The most famous instance of this syndrome occurred in 1941 when a Norwegian woman who had been hurt in an air strike and started speaking with a pronounced German accent was shunned. This syndrome, which was formerly assumed to be a psychological disease, is now understood to be a neurological condition brought on by damage to the area of the brain connected to speech after a stroke or other neurological injury.
