LONELINESS IS A DISEASE
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Feeling of loneliness and being alone were found to be independent predictors of motor decline in old age.[33.[34] It also leads to memory impairment and learning difficulties, and makes the person prone to Alzheimer's disease.[35] Several researchers report interventions for loneliness. These interventions are to be individualized to control expectations as per personal efficiency[26] and improve capacities to socialize,[27] Behavioral training and feedback regulate behavior and improve the frequency and degree of loneliness positively.[28,29] Studies reported that members of intervention groups favorably responded on social contacts and loneliness in comparison to controls.[30] Thus, loneliness is a treatable, rather than an irreversible condition
