Urbanisation Led Psychosomatic Diseases

Psychosomatic diseases due to effect of the urbanization and environmental stress on the people in Delhi-NCR have been studied with an objective to assess and to explore the coping strategies adopted by the people to combat the outcomes of Urban Environmental Stress. It can be indicated that though people described the city as pleasant, a high level of stress is still perceived and its major reasons are: noise, waste accumulation, polluted air with smoke, unhealthy environment along with accumulated stress due to negations thoughts and emotions. It is crucial for the wellbeing of the inhabitants to lower down the effect of stresses, so that the life in the city can be livable and of good quality and to heal Psychosomatic diseases like mood, anxiety disorders, loss of memory, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, thyroid, chronic pain & arthritis, migraine, respiratory disorder including asthma, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, sleep disorders, kidney problems, allergies, muscular atrophy etc. are more prevalent in city dwellers and the incidence of schizophrenia is strongly increased in people born and raised in cities. In the present study, it will be shown using Psycho Neurobics, an innovative techniques designed by my Guru and guide Dr. Chandrashekhar Tiwari, founder president of SIGFA Institute of Research and Development, Faridabad, Haryana, India that urban upbringing and city living have dissociable impacts on social evaluative stress processing in humans. The results of this study will identify distinct neural mechanisms for an established environmental risk factor, link the urban environment for the first time to social stress processing, suggest that brain regions differ in vulnerability to this risk factor across the lifespan, and will indicate that experimental interrogation of epidemiological associations is a promising strategy in social neuroscience.
