Understanding Loneliness
Loneliness differs from being alone. It is the distressing feeling that results from perceiving one's social relationships as inadequate, regardless of actual social contact.
Social Connection and Health
Research has linked chronic loneliness to increased risks of depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality. Addressing loneliness is important for overall health.
Building Connections
Meaningful relationships take time to develop. Small steps like reaching out to old friends, joining groups, or volunteering can help build social connections over time.
Professional Support
Mental health professionals can provide strategies for addressing loneliness and any related mental health concerns. Therapy is an effective resource for many people.
