So the question is: can where you live make you mentally ill? I really mean this about me.

So, I was very healthy when I lived in LA almost a decade ago. Mentally strong, had some PTSD but it was under control, and totally physically healthy. I moved to Montana, and my mental health and physical health started to go downhill. My lifestyle changed dramatically. Upon leaving Montana for Florida, my health deteriorated even further.

Now, while still in Florida, I am gaining ground again. My mental health is much better after a lot of work, and my physical health, I'm working on...But I'm in LA right now on a business trip, and this morning, walking to a diner for breakfast, I felt like my old self. The smell in the air, the weather, the bustle of the city, it felt like being home. I was totally comfortable. I should be super anxious right now about my client meetings, etc., but I feel totally at ease. I don't feel this way any where else.

I wonder what it is about my lifestyle in LA that was so different than the past 8 years in other places. And how those moves to Montana and Florida contributed to my poor mental and physical health?

Has anyone else experienced a phenomena like this?
