The U.S. Census estimates that as many as 27% of adults age 65+ live alone. Loneliness and social isolation have been associated with higher rates of depression, a weakened immune system, heart disease, and dementia. As we approach the holiday season, it is important to remember that it is very common to feel added stress and this stress can worsen symptoms of a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety, or a substance use disorder. Here are some actions you may want to consider taking to help you stay ahead of the “connection curve:” • Nurture and strengthen existing relationships • Schedule a time each day to call a friend or visit someone. • Meet your neighbors, young and old. • Use social media like Facebook to stay in touch with long-distance friends or write an old-fashioned letter. • Stay physically active and include group exercise in the mix, like joining a walking club. • Take a class to learn something new and, at the same time, expand your circle of friends. • Revisit an old hobby you’ve set aside and connect with others who share your interests. • Volunteer to deepen your sense of purpose and help others. Recognizing that you feel isolated or have trouble maintaining a social network that meets your needs is the first step to improving your quality of life.
