Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation is a growing problem today. It’s been linked to more than just being alone, though—it can lead to serious health problems like depression and anxiety, in addition to the physical effects of not getting enough social interaction. But what exactly does it mean? Let’s talk about that!
Social alienation (a psychological state) and social exclusion (referring to a structural problem in society) can lead to loneliness, boredom, and even depression. Some people may experience all these emotions when they don’t have meaningful relationships in their lives; they suffer from an empty emotional life that doesn’t add up because it has no value, so it leads them down a path of unhappiness.
What is Social Isolation?
The feelings people get when they’re lonely are typically different than when they’re depressed or anxious – loneliness might be what happens when you feel like no one understands you or wants to be around you no matter how hard you try and change.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
One word. Pandemic. It is rattling us to our core as we live with, oftentimes, paralyzing anxiety about the future of the unknown. We don't deal well with so much uncertainty, and having someone to talk through it with can be very comforting, humanizing and help reduce the isolation. Also, you need sun on your skin and regular soothing and uplifting activities.
