Sociality also affects health

0 7

Beautiful social life is always fun, but did you know it’s also important for mental health?

Sometimes everyone feels alone. But being isolated for long periods of time can have a negative effect on your mental health.

Who are isolated

There can be many reasons for being isolated from society, maybe no one is able to mix with the people around him. Maybe there is no similarity in their way of life. However, most people are left alone because of age.

"Everyone may feel lonely and isolated from society, but it's more common in the elderly," said Debbie Faulkner, a research professor at the University of Adelaide in Australia.

"When you get older, you get sicker, you have to mourn the death of a partner or a loved one, you don't have the ability to move, you have to retire from work, so it becomes difficult to keep old friendships or make new ones."

"It's a time of great change in life, a change that alienates people from society."

Health risks as a result of social isolation

Isolation from society can have negative effects both physically and emotionally. Such as:

# Increased risk of depression, anxiety and panic attacks

# Not falling asleep easily or getting extra sleep

# Sudden weight loss or gain

# Drug addiction

# Little fatigue or lack of motivation.

Extensive research is constantly being done on the negative effects of social loneliness. Surprisingly, loneliness can result in something worse. Debbie said a study of 100 studies worldwide showed just how negative the effects of loneliness can be.

"The detrimental effects of loneliness can be compared to smoking 15 cigarettes a day or drinking that type of alcohol. Loneliness is more harmful than the damage done to the body by not exercising," he saidIsolation from society creates twice as many health problems as obesity. "

Friendship is the key to good health

Many people nowadays live far away from their families for the sake of work, and at the end of a busy day, loneliness becomes the only companion. If you start to feel lonely or anxious, you need to understand that you are isolated from society. Here are some things you can do:

# Call relatives and friends: Talk to close relatives or friends on the phone, make a plan to meet. Let them know you're feeling lonely and wanting their time. Do it yourself rather than waiting for their phone, the communication is from the will of both parties.

# Get acquainted (gain, obtain) with people around you. Chat with people in the area or talk to them while shopping. Chats can be held at tea shops or at neighbors' homes.

# Volunteer: Participate in various social events or humanitarian events as a volunteer. There will be opportunities to meet new people.

# Walk around: Buy vegetables from the local market, sit in the tea shop for a walk or go for a walk in the nearby park. In the meantime, you will get acquainted with many locals.
