SYDNEY, June 29 ― Going on vacation can be a form of therapy for people with fragile mental health. This concept of “travel therapy” is supported by recent Australian research that draws parallels between travel experiences and some of the therapies recommended for people with mental health disorders like dementia.
“Medical experts can recommend dementia treatments such as music therapy, exercise, cognitive stimulation, reminiscence therapy, sensory stimulation and adaptations to a patient's mealtimes and environment,” says lead researcher Dr. Jun Wen in a statement. “These are all also often found when on holidays.”
