Drought and erosion are significant issues today. However, these problems affect not only the environment but also individuals' mental health.

Research shows that financial difficulties negatively impact individuals' cognitive abilities. A study conducted at Princeton University revealed that poverty creates a mental burden.

Financial worries particularly suppress our attention and problem-solving abilities. This situation complicates our daily decisions and leads to mental fatigue.

Poverty reduces thinking capacity, leading to poor decision-making. This results in a self-perpetuating cycle of poverty.

Policymakers should address poverty not only as an economic issue but also as a social issue that directly affects cognitive health.
