Loneliness during the Christmas season
During the holiday season, many people feel a heightened sense of loneliness, despite the emphasis on connection. The World Health Organization has even declared loneliness a global health priority. Surprisingly, young Australians between 15 and 24 experience more loneliness than older Australians. Loneliness is not just a feeling, but it can also have physiological effects on the body, increasing the risk of stroke, early death, and dementia. It is essential to recognize that many people feel lonely during this time and that the conversation around loneliness is crucial for providing solace and tools to manage these feelings.
