Loneliness Worse for Mental Health
A study from the University of Bristol in the UK has shown that feelings of loneliness are linked to increased risks of depression, self-harm, and suicide attempts, as well as overall health deterioration and chronic illnesses. In contrast, the impact of social isolation appears to be limited. The study, which analyzed data from approximately 500,000 people, found that loneliness has a greater effect on mental health and well-being, with no definitive evidence connecting it to heart disease, strokes, or diabetes. Researchers emphasize that this relationship may be bidirectional.
