Mental Health, Loneliness, and the Power of Companionship Care
In today’s fast-paced world, many people find themselves feeling isolated or lonely, especially older adults or those living with long-term conditions. According to the Mental Health Foundation, loneliness can be as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. But you don’t have to face it alone.
What is Loneliness?
Loneliness is a feeling of sadness or distress about being by yourself or lacking social connection. It’s not just about being physically alone — many people surrounded by others can still feel lonely.
How Loneliness Affects Mental Health
Chronic loneliness can impact mental well-being, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, and sleep disturbances. It can also affect self-esteem and overall quality of life.
