Opis

Loneliness is one of the most significant and under-recognised mental and physical health challenges in the United Kingdom today. People of all ages report feeling lonely and the problem seems to be growing.

In-depth studies have been carried out within all age groups to both identify the numbers of people who say they are lonely and to explore the causes of loneliness. Loneliness is a significant risk factor for depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease and premature death.

This book, Confronting Loneliness in Later Life, concentrates on older adults and sets out to highlight the actions they can take to confront and overcome loneliness

For anyone suffering from loneliness, this book:

Explores a wide range of approaches for finding the company of others;
Suggests ways to find pleasure for people on their own;
Teaches techniques to help people deal with any distress associated with loneliness;
Identifies and challenges behaviours that can lead to self-imposed isolation;
Helps people find hope if they are feeling limited by circumstances.
Confronting Loneliness in Later Life will prove invaluable to all who read it, including those with disabilities, and will help move people forward by helping them connect with a myriad of groups that exist to provide support and assistance.
