Title |
Loneliness: Symptom and/or disease? |
Description |
Humans are social creatures. If people feel socially isolated, it is called "perceived social isolation" or "loneliness". Many people know the feeling of loneliness or perceived social isolation and some scholars nowadays even consider loneliness an epidemic phenomenon. There is strong evidence that social isolation and loneliness significantly increase the risk of premature mortality and have adverse health effects. Based on research literature, the seminar will examine various forms of loneliness (e.g. little social contact, feeling lonely despite many contacts) and related phenomena, and its causes and the connection with mental disorders. In addition, we concentrate on interventions targeting on a reduction of the feeling of loneliness. |
