Suffering Isolation & Loneliness - why?

Disintegration of childhood/adolescent close friend circle due to geographical dislocation because of profession, break down of joint family system & small family norms is pushing individuals into social isolation, living alone & suffer from loneliness till such time the person is able to re-establish his/her identity amongst the community & strike real friendships for much needed person to person connect. The prolonged loneliness & lack of people to people connect proves to be an emotional & psychological drain resulting in development of mental disorders like mood blues, anxiety, depression and suicidal tendency. The person gets entrapped in enhanced virtual digital connect on social media, addictive behavior like smoking, drinking, drugs etc. to cope up with the stress thus affecting his/her mental & physical health. Effective professional psychological counseling, robust social support system, bonding with family & extended family helps the person talk without inhibition, spending time with nature/outdoors, pursuing passion/hobby, joining cultural organizations and indulgence in social service helps the person find new friend circle to cope with his/her isolation and loneliness.
