Description:
\n<\/b>Loneliness has been defined as the gap<\/i> between the level of connectedness that you want<\/i> and what you have.<\/i> While measures of loneliness ticked upward during the pandemic, social scientists observe that a high residual \u201cepidemic of loneliness\u201d remains, and affects every age cohort from teens through to the aged.\u00a0 While many think loneliness is a subjective feeling, the human brain, having evolved to seek safety in numbers, registers loneliness as a threat.<\/i> The centres that monitor for danger, including the amygdala, go into overdrive, triggering a release of \u201cfight or flight\u201d stress hormones. This lays the foundation for the outcomes of loneliness which include higher morbidity, mortality, and excess deaths.\u00a0 Join us and Dr. John Ogrodniczuk PhD<\/b>, a practising psychologist with a special interest in loneliness, for this important discussion, including strategies and interventions to counter loneliness.<\/p>\n
