Is loneliness a mental illness?

Loneliness is not a mental illness, but it is a risk factor for depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. It is now classified by the WHO as a global public health concern. Chronic loneliness activates the same brain regions as physical pain, which is why it can feel as debilitating as an injury.

What is the difference between loneliness and social isolation?

Social isolation is an objective lack of social contact; loneliness is the subjective feeling of being disconnected regardless of how many people are around. You can feel profoundly lonely in a crowded room. Both respond well to peer connection, but loneliness specifically requires the quality of connection, not just its quantity.
