Abstract

The goal of this project is to explore the intricate dynamics of depression in urban environments through network modeling. We aim to understand how urban environments influence mental health. By developing a predictive model, we will investigate how social interactions and environmental variables related to mental health services contribute to reducing depression risk. Additionally, we will study how to make interventions on urban attributes to prevent depression across various urban areas. Our approach not only seeks to unravel the relationship between urban environments and depression, but also offers guidance for targeted interventions that could promote mental well-being in urban areas.
