Mental health consequences of the veteran crowd - Hotwani Geetu - Bog

Crowding is a phenomenon faced by people from all walks of life. Due to rapid urban and rural development, space has become a major issue experienced by people. One could face a crowded environment at home, school, social gathering or public place. This is a problem which is becoming a huge concern for government, builders, architects, designers, teachers, students, etc. There is rapid and continuous growth and need for space in developing cities. Sometimes parks and green spaces in public areas are downsized to make way for new buildings. There is frustration and sometimes aggressive behaviour shown by people who commute in heavy traffic. People often cope by avoiding busy areas and peak hours of traffic. Some even bend rules by overtaking, honking or using a wrong entry or exit. The stress of commuting leads to migraines, road rage, aversion to noisy places, nervous issues and anxiety disorders. Some people may find the crowded environment of social gatherings unpleasant and prefer to interact with others on an online forum.
