Loneliness, declared an epidemic by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, affects all age groups and is linked to physical health issues like heart disease, dementia, and premature death.
Loneliness has health impacts equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and can lead to slower wound healing. It is not a sign of personal deficiency, affecting everyone.
CDC recommends starting conversations, connecting with others on social media, and offering help to combat loneliness. Small actions like reaching out for 15 minutes daily can make a difference.
