Loneliness Is Way More Dangerous Than You Think

Ever thought loneliness was just a bad mood? Turns out, it’s a legit health risk—like, as bad as smoking 15 cigarettes a day! Psychologist Dr. Susan Albers says chronic loneliness can mess with your body and brain, raising your risk for heart disease, dementia, and even early death. And it’s sneaky: even surface-level convos, big life changes, or too much social media can trigger it. The good news? Reaching out—even a little—can make a huge difference. Don’t ignore those lonely feels! #LonelinessAwareness #MentalHealth #Wellness #HealthFacts #ConnectionMatters
