May be true, but if there are no other pathologies that require frequent visit to the hospital, and the quiet living might help the mental side of things, why not? Maybe giving it a go for a while at first.

Maybe it’s just me, I only once in almost 40 years required urgent medical attention and would have survived without.. so I don’t understand the worry about not having an hospital close to home.

Thanks yes that's my plan and hope. I don't need much healthcare, except maybe teeth (that got a bit damaged when I was too underweight), not something frequent

Good luck. I really mean that.

Rural living definitely is relaxing and helps you connect with nature. But the isolation can be difficult. Hit me up if you want tips on how to cope. I am not schizophrenic, but I do have Tourettic OCD which makes it hard to 'fit' into society at large.

I do want to stress, if you have untreated mental illness, rural life is not a cure. It can make it worse.
