Social Isolation Loneliness: 100+ Expert Talks

About Social Isolation Loneliness

Loneliness affects more than mood, and many people come to DrTalks after a loss, a divorce, burnout or a big life change left them feeling cut off. Poor sleep, anxiety, low mood, memory changes with age, and the isolation that can come with caregiving or a cancer diagnosis are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past feeling down. Connection shapes your stress response, your brain health, your heart and how well you age. You'll find conversations on how community and purpose help prevent depression as we age, preventing dementia through how you live day to day, how thoughts and emotions affect heart disease risk, and the forgotten medicine of community, dance and song. Doctors, therapists, psychiatrists and longevity experts explain what's actually going on and what helps, from building community and finding purpose to meditation, counseling, regular movement, better sleep and gratitude practices.
