While the US surgeon general’s recent Advisory on the US “epidemic of loneliness and isolation” came, for many, out of the blue, the exact phrase “epidemic of loneliness” has been in use for a while now to describe the growing alienation felt by many during this period of technology-driven disruption. Modern industrial life is centered on a mobile individual and it is this focus that has lead many medical systems to recognize that loneliness not only kills, but that it can be prevented through prescribing social interactions. Join us as we discuss the implications of “medicalizing” loneliness and the importance of social connectivity.
