The Loneliness Crisis in Our Country

Loneliness is a growing problem in our society, with statistics showing that people are losing close friendships faster than they make new ones. Many individuals report having no one to confide in, and a significant portion of the population experiences severe loneliness. Loneliness has detrimental effects on physical and mental health, contributing to increased rates of depression, suicide, heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Various methods to cope with loneliness include distractions such as casual sex, focusing on career, or addiction. However, meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging are crucial to addressing loneliness.
