Impacts of urbanization on mental health and problem behaviour
Authors
Azis Kemal Fauzie
Abstract
Urbanization brings with it impacts pertaining to mental health and problem behaviour. There is strong evidence that urban people were much more likely to report mental illness and depressive symptoms than non-urban. Mental health problems in urban context, such as depression, aggression, anxiety, sadness, substance abuse, and personality disorders are caused by poverty, fear of crime and ethnicity. Behavioural problems such as sexual, gambling and corruption behaviour occur more frequently among people in urban areas. These impacts of urbanization affect the entire gamut of population, especially the vulnerable section: elderly, children and women.
