The Great Indoors: How Nature Deficit Disorder is Reshaping Our World | Nature Deficit Disorder

Описание: 🌿In our fast-paced, screen-filled lives, we’re spending more time indoors than ever before — and it’s taking a serious toll on our health, happiness, and sense of connection. This phenomenon is known as Nature Deficit Disorder — a term coined by author Richard Louv to describe the growing gap between humans (especially children) and the natural world.

Why This Video Matters

Mental health: higher stress, anxiety, depression, emotional fatigue
Cognition: reduced creativity, lower problem-solving ability, shorter attention spans
