Nature deficit Disorder
Wiki Project Goals

1. retrieve more peer review articles

https://jech.bmj.com/content/63/12/967.short

- morbidity in an environmental context

- study based on the Dutch

2. make introduction specify NDD as a sociological phenomenon and not an actual diagnosis

3. Think of potential images and descriptions that are relevant *nonpriority

4. expand research section methods and disclaimers.

Wiki-Project Plan

Introduction:

-       More on Richard Louv claim of term; how, when, & where

-       Not an actual diagnosis but a metaphor for a sociological phenomenon

-       interview articles

Research:

-       Needs to be expanded with scientific studies.

-       Bulk of new sources will go here

-       Include methods

-       Include purpose of study

-       Can also include collections of data formatted scholarly articles that aren’t exactly experiments

Images:

-       Need new pictures with better context of NDD

-       Citations needed

Causes and Effects:

-      Combining these two sections maybe, maybe not

-      Causes can be supported by more scientific resources or research, which is not much

-       Include a disclaimer that this has not been studied very thoroughly

A review of Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD) and its disproportionate impacts on Latinx populations - ScienceDirect (Alverez et al., 2022)

- one of the few studies focused on NDD

- defines greenspace as it is used in science

- mentions how minority communities often have less greenspace and a higher risk of NDD

- talks about the historic context of nature helping mental health

og:Nature-deficit disorder is the idea that human beings, especially children, are spending less time outdoors than they have in the past, and the belief that this change results in a wide range of behavioral problems. This disorder is not recognized in any of the medical manuals for mental disorders, such as the ICD-10 or the DSM-5.

Richard Louv claims that causes for nature-deficit disorder include parental fears and restricted access to natural areas.

Elizabeth Dickinson has criticized the term as a misdiagnosis that obscures and problems of dysfunctional cultural practices.

Nature-deficit disorder is the idea that human beings, especially children, are spending less time outdoors than they have in the past, and the belief that this change results in a wide range of behavioral problems.

This disorder is not recognized in any of the medical manuals for mental disorders, such as the ICD-10 or the DSM-5. The term "disorder" is not used to represent an actual illness but to be used as a metaphor representing the effects of the phenomenon.

This phenomenon was coined by Richard Louv in 2005 and has made appearances in various news media. Richard Louv claims that causes for nature-deficit disorder include parental fears and restricted access to natural areas.

Elizabeth Dickinson has criticized the term as a misdiagnosis that obscures and problems of dysfunctional cultural practices.

Research:

Nature Deficit disorder is not a medical diagnosis and is not studied as one. It is a sociological phenomenon and so studies of sociology can be applied to it better than scientific articles. There have been very few studies on how exposure to nature affects development and behavior. There have been few studies that specifically mention nature deficit disorder.

"Studies on adjacent topics to NDD often use surveys of selected groups and statistical analysis of data to find trends"

Causes and Effects:

Move Clements research study to research section, or mention it in research section.

NDD is said to be caused by the lack of nature exposure, mainly to children. This is due to decreased access to natural spaces in developed lands as well as more time spent indoors.

Effects of NDD claim to increase the occurrence of anxiety and ADHD in children, though there are no studies to support these claims.
