Social Isolation

Dr. David Shapiro

Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Humans are social animals. We are not the fastest animals nor the strongest, but one of our greatest strengths is that we are able work together and coordinate. People tend to be more emotionally healthy when they are connected to others. When cut off from social support people tend to not do as well in many areas of functioning. A variety of factors can result in isolation, including situational factors, as well as personal factors. Not everyone has the same social needs. Some people like to have one or two people very close to them, and others like to have a broad and active social life. As a clinician, taking into account people's relationships and social supports is a very important dimension in understanding what may be holding them back from thriving. Then understanding what is interfering with them having the relationships that would serve them well to have becomes another important step in the therapeutic process, and then this understanding can be used to support the client in taking the steps necessary to overcome those barriers. Quite often I help clients with this through what is called Interpersonal Psychotherapy, which involves making room in the therapy for hearing about the clients social interactions and relationships and then helping my clients to consider more effective ways of responding to others. Other times I help my clients become involved in new activities and communities which will provide opportunities to form new relationships.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Ricardo Peña, licensed clinical social worker
Social Isolation

Ricardo Peña

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.

Tarzana, California therapist: Raquel Molina, licensed clinical social worker
Social Isolation

Raquel Molina

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Social isolation can lead to depression, anxiety, accelerated cognitive decline, low self worth and irritability. I describe "Social Medicine" as a goal in therapy to increase social connections, which leads to a more content lifestyle. In therapy we can discuss ways to increase social interactions as well as improve mood.
