POV: we’re dancing at the holiday party and talking about loneliness... Around 5-15% of adolescents and 25% of older adults experience loneliness, and it can feel hard to know what to do about it… This tip has worked for me.. give it a try and you may be surprised. Don’t overthink the place/event you’ll regularly go. Loneliness and social isolation are associated with health risks, including up to a 50% increased risk of developing dementia, 25% increase in risk of early mortality, and 30% increase in risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Aside from those numbers, feeling a greater sense of connection and community may make you feel a little better each day and week :) It has for me! #MentalHealth #mentalhealthmatters #MentalHealthAwareness #WHOFides #science #todayilearned #drnoc #til
