The Impact of Social Prescribing in Addressing Depression
Social prescribing, as exemplified by Dr. Sam Everington's approach, highlights the power of forming meaningful connections and engaging in collective activities to combat depression and anxiety. By encouraging individuals to join group activities like gardening, not only physical health benefits emerge but also emotional support and a sense of belonging are fostered, leading to significant improvements in mental well-being. This strategy focuses on addressing the underlying psychological needs that often contribute to depression and anxiety, offering a holistic approach to mental health care.
