Journal ArticleDOI
Loneliness: Clinical Import and Interventions
TL;DR: Assessments of loneliness are reviewed and there is increasing evidence for the potential efficacy of integrated interventions that combine (social) cognitive behavioral therapy with short-term adjunctive pharmacological treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Relationships and Health: The Toxic Effects of Perceived Social Isolation
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that loneliness heightens sensitivity to social threats and motivates the renewal of social connections, but it can also impair executive functioning, sleep, and mental and physical well-being, which contribute to higher rates of morbidity and mortality in lonely older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Investigation of neuroendocrine stress mechanisms that may be involved suggest that chronic social isolation increases the activation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenocortical axis, and these effects are more dependent on the disruption of a social bond between a significant pair than objective isolation per se.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a neurology of loneliness.
TL;DR: Evidence that the perception of social isolation impacts brain and behavior and is a risk factor for broad-based morbidity and mortality is reviewed, highlighting the importance of integrating human and animal research to delineate the mechanisms through which social relationships impact the brain, health, and well-being.
