Purpose of review
Environmental factors such as climate, urbanicity, and exposure to nature are becoming increasingly important influencers of mental health. Incorporating data gathered from real-life contexts holds promise to substantially enhance laboratory experiments by providing a more comprehensive understanding of everyday behaviors in natural environments. We provide an up-to-date review of current technological and methodological developments in mental health assessments
Summary
This comment explores new approaches to enrich large-scale population data, including incorporating macro-environmental and digital health measures.
Large population cohorts have transformed biomedical research by providing data for a wide range of physical and mental health conditions. Mental health investigations analyzing population data are often limited by restricted behavioral and psychopathological assessments, a necessary consequence of the broad coverage of large cohorts
Summary
Nature connection and biodiversity play an essential role in mental health and overall well-being. Integrating these elements into therapeutic approaches shows promise for enhancing mental health. This chapter presents theories that emphasize the significance of nature experiences and biodiversity for mental health and provides current data sources on environmental factors relevant to clinical practice. Deteriorating mental health, now the leading cause of disease burden in
