I genuinely believe that town’s folk communicate with words less and actions more, whereas city people especially densely populated cities has an effect of making people more vocal.
They say Schizophrenia is trigged in cities more than outside, it kinda makes sense to me. There’s more stimulus affecting a mind than the calmness of a Village or Town.
Agreed to a wide extent.
We experience higher crime, higher information inflow, more poverty and crowding, we also experience cramped resources where one service might serve 100,000 individuals…. out in the sticks its more better distributed. Im sure some country-folk here may disagree or agree, would be good to get their input too!
I don’t think it’s more distributed, in fact, if we’re talking England. It’s actually quite well known that the South East is distinctly more advantageously infrastructured. Im’ in the Home Counties, so I see both worlds. It kinda depends on the town planners and the politics, but all in all. The South East is massively funded compared to the rest of England in my experiences outside of the SE.
Maybe on paper my bro, but in lived experiences, the resources are in key strategic services/locations, while the rest gets the dregs. Its awful. I put it down to overcrowded areas.
Ah the Home Counties! Hows things there?
I’m not saying it’s not resourcefully bursting in the SE. But compared to the rest of England it is still significantly better off imo. I’m in the SE, and I’ve lived in the NW - the divide is stark. And I’m SE.
Thats what I mean, it’d be good to hear from the countryside people to see their input. Because even in places like Cambridgeshire, where my brother has just moved from after 3 years; he said he could get a GP appointment in a flash and even got offered secondary services for his depression - and he didnt have to wait months on end.
I was raised in a little village. Life was great. As a student I moved to a city and developed sz. Hated the city life.
have returned to a village now and things are definitely easier sz wise.
I think I wouldn’t have gotten ill if I had avoided the city
When I was in a city as a student. I really wanted to live on my own and do my own thing. But I felt super paranoid because it was the first time I lived with others and even the first time I had formed real friendships beyond schoolmate pleasantries. I don’t know if the city life tipped me over the edge, but I do know. I wasn’t good at juggling the stress
I live in a small town, and developed schizophrenia. My dad is from the Southside of Chicago and never developed schizophrenia, neither his maternal side of his family whose from Chicago since the early twentieth century.
I’ve heard of this correlation, but I think it fails scrutiny.
I’m from a village and spent the 90s running around forests and abandoned buildings, it was idilic and I’m really fond of these memories. My village was know for people always leaving their doors open because the crime was so low. I live in a small town now in Nottinghamshire and it’s lovely, everybody is friendly, there is a real big sense of community. Every time I have visited London most people were rude and busy with their life’s. I wouldn’t want to live in a city.
My husband is from the Appalachia and talks nonstop whereas i grew up in the city and talk very little
