going to the country side for a person who suffers from stress/depression or other such problems, do you think that it would work better, and benifit the person more in the long term to be helped by getting away from the bussy, modern city life for a while, to heal? I have always thought that being close to nature for even just a little while has a very big effect on humans....after all, we are part of nature aswell.

Well, a trip to the country side for a weekend, or on an off day/holiday can really benifit people and stop them from becomming depressed in the first place......and they hardly cost much....unless you live very far from the country or if you want to live in an expensice cottage/hotel in the country. But there are many lettle places that you are able to rent for just a few day for very cheap.

Yes it would. Relaxing in Nature can have a HUGE effect on us.
It's the Web of life, All things are connected, and we should stop and be with nature, after all it is a part of us.
Humans are just the most evolved of the animals.

That has been done, and is still done, in fact. There are all kinds of therapy available to people. Drugs is just one of them. Psychotherapy is another, behavioral therapy is also an option. One thing to realize is though, that words like 'stress' or 'depression' have become household words - but when you say 'I'm stressed', that doesn't mean you are clinically stressed. It just means that you feel stressed. In that case, taking a vacation somewhere quiet is probably just 'what the doctor ordered'. But that doesn't mean all problems that could be described as 'stress' can be solved that way. There could be deep emotional issues underlying that stress, that need to be faced. A person could be in the wrong job, or need day-care for the kids.
There is no one size fit all solution to psychological problems - whether clinically diagnosed or not.

Are the doctors going to pay for the trips to the country, too? While I do think that many people could benefit from time away from their lives in order to get better and work through issues, it really comes down to time/money. Would employers be willing to give people 2-3 months leave of absence on doctor's orders? While a treatment like the one you are suggesting might do a world of good, it isn't very feasible considering the society we live in where money rules everything.

Are you crazy? Yeah, maybe a walk in the park would help ease the stress, but the stress is still there - all you are doing is getting your mind off of it for a little while, but then its right back to the problems.
Medications are abused alot these days, but that doesn't mean we should get rid of them.
You sound like one of those folks who worship butterflies and peach trees.

yes i think its a better idea then taking pills.
i mean you can take the pills and be sitting in the same gloomy life.
so getting away to the country side,getting some fresh air,change of faces and so on works wonders.you may even get new ideas to improve your life
good luck

Don't be Naive. Doctors are bombarded by Pharmaceutical salesmen who hawk their wares and offer 'gifts' to doctors in return for distribution.
Sounds cold, doesn't it?

I think it would work for most of us, but it just might kill someone who has chemically caused manic depression.
