The risks of social isolation
Social isolation can be an incredibly difficult issue to grapple with, and it can have very serious consequences for mental and physical health. Research shows that social isolation is associated with an increased risk of depression, poor sleep, high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, as well as an increased risk of developing dementia. It is essential to identify the root cause of the social isolation and find effective ways to manage it. Whether it is due to illness, old age, or other causes, it is important to be proactive in seeking out social contact and support. We invite you to join our upcoming ‘The Risks of Social Isolation’ session, where our mental health professional will help you to identify and address the risks associated with social isolation.
