The Importance of Social Connection
Social connection is crucial for mental health, yet the modern world underestimates its power. While technology has increased our digital connections, it cannot replicate the experience of meaningful in-person interactions. Good quality human connection releases oxytocin and vasopressin, hormones involved in love, trust, and social bonding. Engaging in quality conversations, expressing gratitude, and spending time with loved ones can reduce stress and improve mental well-being.
