Study suggests direct link between loneliness and mental health distress

The government have published new research indicating a direct correlation between loneliness and mental health distress.

These new revelations come after a study analysed mental health wellbeing and the impacts of loneliness over a sustained period by investigating what types of people suffered from loneliness the most, and if the risk factors had changed or not.

The announcement comes at the start of Loneliness Awareness Week, with the research finding clear links between certain age and socials demographics and a higher susceptibility to mental health issues.
