NATURE could be the solution

Recently Ecotherapy has become a really popular theme. It is said that it could be a solution for mental illness but, what is it about?

This consist in going for walks in natural areas such as forests, beaches, mountains etc. After that it ensures that you will feel more relaxed, happy or even fulfilled.

On the one hand I do believe this is true because it is proved that just the fact of going outside and bask in the sun for a short period of time (I mean like 10 minutes approx) can make you feel better.
 I also think it is positive because It makes you appreciate nature so it might help some people to be more respectful with the environment.

 On the other hand I also think this could be mistaken. Even though this is great for punctual feelings, saying that it could cure mental illness its too much. Alike other "Alternative medicines" that promise heal every kind of deseases this may not have the same effect for everybody.
This could help to a person that is feeling stressed in their daly life or somebody who is just sad but if we are talking about people who suffer real mental illness such as depression, schizophrenia or anxiety only medicine and professionals could really help.

To sum up I think it is a good idea to relax and enjoy nature.
