Nature-Deficit Disorder

Nature-Deficit Disorder describes the growing gap between people, especially children, and their connection to the natural world. It’s not a medical diagnosis but highlights the impact of spending less time outdoors, leading to stress, attention difficulties, and reduced creativity.

Encouraging outdoor play, exploration, and interaction with nature can help counter these effects, fostering better mental and physical well-being.
