Researchers from the University of Exeter in UK, the British Trust for Ornithology and the University of Queensland in Australia surveyed people living in urban or suburban neighborhoods and found that just seeing birds, trees and shrubs helped people. The study, which surveyed mental health in over 270 people from different ages, incomes and ethnicities, also found that those who spent less time out of doors than usual in the previous week were more likely to report they were anxious or depressed.
