Nature as a treatment for people with a diagnosed mental disorder has been tested in 20 randomised trials, 1,299 patients between them. The public health researcher Sarah Blakeslee and colleagues gathered every one of them for the WHO and pooled the 12 that were close enough in shape. Depressive symptoms and anxiety both came down, anxiety the further of the two.
