Social isolation refers to a state where an individual lacks social connections and interactions with others. This can occur due to various factors, including living alone, moving to a new area, or experiencing life changes such as retirement or loss of a loved one. It can lead to feelings of loneliness and can negatively impact mental and physical health. People experiencing social isolation may find it challenging to engage in community activities or maintain relationships. This condition is often linked to increased risks of depression, anxiety, and other health issues. Addressing social isolation can involve reaching out to friends, joining clubs, or participating in community events to foster connections.
