Experts have established that mental and physical health are closely connected, and being socially isolated or lonely can cause various diseases. Studies have shown that loneliness can lead to premature death from all causes, just like smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Heart disease, depression, anxiety, diabetes, hypertension, and other health problems are some of the risks associated with loneliness. Loneliness is not only a problem for the elderly but also for young people who feel isolated due to the absence of a social network, being an introvert, or having a disability.
Overcoming loneliness is possible through engaging in meaningful activities, building social connections, practicing self-care, and seeking professional support.
