As part of our exploration of the connection between our physical spaces and our mental health, this week we are looking at the connection between disorganization and depression. One mental health clinic in Miami, Florida, recently published a study on this very topic. GIA Miami argues that our physical surroundings significantly influence our mental and emotional well-being. Disorganization in our living and work spaces can exacerbate feelings of depression and anxiety, creating a cycle that is challenging to break. Understanding this connection is crucial for fostering healthier environments and promoting mental health.
In preparation for next month’s “Mental Health Awareness Month,” we’re looking at how the work we do plays with brain health. Anecdotally, we all know that an organized space helps foster an organized mind. But is there really any science behind it?
