New trend in Tehran: "Tree-hugging" for treating depression at a cost of millions

Reports from Telegram networks associated with Iranian current affairs channels, اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا حمله, reveal a bizarre social phenomenon in the capital of Iran. According to the reports, residents of the city have adopted a "new trend for treating depression" based on the puzzling act of hugging trees.

The channels, known for their tendency to publish sensational content and breaking news, note that the service in question involves "costs of millions" (according to a report in اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری). This phenomenon raises questions regarding the state of mental health in Tehran and the willingness of the local population to invest significant sums of money in pseudo-scientific methods in order to cope with mental difficulties.

While the sources do not detail the psychological mechanism behind the action, the reports emphasize the fact that this is a trend that is gaining momentum, which indicates a desperate search for solutions to social and mental problems in unconventional ways in the urban environment of Tehran.
