Abstract

This article explores the profound impact of architecture and interior design on the mental health of individuals, especially those with depression. Key factors such as natural light, color choice, spatial layout, acoustic environment, and greenery can significantly influence mood and emotional stability, and designers can achieve better spatial psychological outcomes and pay more attention to the mental state of people with depression. In the same case study, we show how thoughtful design can alleviate symptoms of depression and promote well-being. The challenges in assessing the cost of social behaviour encouragement and individualized design were acknowledged. Overall, well-designed spaces can greatly improve the psychological state of individuals, especially those with depression, emphasizing the importance of taking into account both physical and psychological factors in the generation of architectural spaces.
