Loneliness & SI in Mental Health research network

"the negative feeling(s) one experiences as a result of a (conscious/subconscious) personal perception that one's interpersonal needs are not satisfied by (the quantity &/or quality of) one's interpersonal (emotional/social/collective/professional &/or religious) relationships"

A comprehensive study of nearly 50,000 people across the United States revealed that more that more than 80% experience some degree of loneliness. Women and white individuals are far more prone to #loneliness than their male and non-white counterparts, the findings revealed, putting them at a greater risk of suffering from #depression and poor physical health outcomes as well.
