re: Is Loneliness A Disease?

Perhaps a symptom of a disease. Depression is the first thing that comes to mind here for me. Although I have zero “advanced” knowledge or expertise in the area. Anyhow, loneliness, or maybe “withdrawal” it might also be considered, if it’s connected to some other condition such as depression, I’d say that’s a pretty serious situation to be addressed sooner than later. **And yes I do realize that I answered questions that weren’t even asked

Very insightful, but I would suggest that often enough loneliness brings upon depression rather than loneliness being a symptom of depression. Maybe a chicken or the egg conversation sure. I’m just suggesting lots of mentally healthy people find themselves alone in the world by a myriad of causes.
