How people use feedback as self funding. There was impacts over the claim enterprises, the mentors for the global mode, reagan elijah, running off this edition of the news are. But if youd like to del, deeper in any of our stories as our r t dot com has you covered all those fresh content. The live, the discussions to get stuck into the the kobe 19 pandemic has been declared over by most countries, and the World Health Organization is great. Hope that i declare to cope with 9 to the over as a globe on health emergency. But the effects of dependent on Mental Health are still taking a toll on the global population sky. Now, he was in, on this edition of 360 view, were going to look at how the long term effects of the i solution. And the seclusion on society brought on by the coven, 19 pandemic, affected life. Lets get started. The isolation disconnection, lack of social interaction, all feelings experienced as a result of the cobit 19 pandemic. Pandemic loneliness is now the term which is being used following the lock downs, social distancing travel restrictions, and other various measures which significantly limited the ability for people to engage and interact with each other and their usual social activities in the measure of some restrictions regarding physical distancing or gatherings reduced the opportunity for face to face interactions. And while some might have enjoyed the ability to stay at home and work remotely, the long term effect of limited face to face social interaction. Whether it be at work or within their social circle, had led to a long term decrease in this sense of connection and more people feeling isolated from the lifestyle any before. Now studies specifically done in india, found says 202145 percent feel loneliness, sometimes, and 20 percent are feeling very lonely. The National Institute of health down students forced to stay home during cobit experienced a sharp rise in loneliness. The study taken in india found females actually suffered the most. So you have the very important social support systems that were disrupted by the pandemic. Not only every day interactions with work colleagues, but doing the inability to meet in person or travel. People lost touch. Also, with family members and friends to the Emotional Distress and loneliness, while hard to gauge could potentially be very harmful if ignored. In china, there was a prevalent increase in feelings of loneliness. Now during the pandemic, an overwhelmingly 74. 6 percent of chinese residents surveyed reported severe loneliness. This is up from 17. 4 percent pre pandemic and says depend, demik restrictions have lifted. Chinese residents reported overall 25. 4 percent feeling lonely. Showing the effects of coven are still lingering, but its not only the restrictions and limits put on interacting with one another, but also the restrictions on public spaces, limiting recreational activities, including those which happened outdoors, the canceling of events, or even the insecurity of not knowing what was going to happen next. All of contributed to a present society were most are in our Emotional Distress. But will this be an incurable illness and what effects would have on our future . So to help us discuss as simone hanger, motivational speaker, on loneliness and author of lets talk about loneliness, simone. Thank you so much for joining us. You know, starting off what route do you think was hardest hit by loneliness during the pandemic . I think there are 3 specific groups whenever we look at loveliness and social disconnection that are most valuable through all the research right now. Number one is of course those people that were in nursing home environments like my mothers who were having the wellbeing pins, 2 visitors coming into that nursing home environment were denied that. So we can also see that gen z, those born from the late 19 ninetys genji, particularly who were developing that social skills and social identity during those very crucial years of young alice and had to do education online. And that we know has a long term, luminous effect, even off the depends image, and also can also extend their sense of identity and also the social skills. So jim z would be, and number one, even prior to the pandemic party, they were coming up in the 2018 singleness index of the loveliest of all generations. And so we can talk a bit more about that later. And the 3rd group, like anything in society, people from lowest search, economic environments, with less access to social infrastructure and certain of the infrastructures that people needed for Mental Health support during a, you know, an instant life depend demik. Do you think this is the same group which was most effective post pandemic as well . I think we can eliminate, for really practical reasons. The 1st groups of those people in nursing home facilities who are relying visitors now have the visitors again. And so theres no real huge data coming out saying that that group is still suffering. But the 2nd 2 groups, particularly, i want to lean into jen z. They are coming up again and again as being more and more literally because of the adoption of social media. During the pandemic that was heightened even more so with parents were already trying to limit social media use. They could no longer do that. It was the only way that there was some children could have access to Human Connection was via almost veracious use of online means. So what we found is that group now is still showing like mock is it blowing us. And then of course, low, especially economic groups, i think a big thing we have to look at is a society with social infrastructure, which a Human Connection is making it really equitable. And im sure well talk to not in, in lighthouse questions as well. Would you consider Health Professionals as unprepared and preventing damage to Mental Health during the pandemic . I dont think any of us in any set to, were prepared for what happens with the pandemic, unless youre through gates of costs and you knew before the rest of us. But i think we, we can, i look forward now, and the research in general has just struck to advisory with specific guidelines to educate Mental Health professionals and Health Care Professionals on the interest section between our physical well being and mental well being and social connection and the benefits of social connection to ab healing as a, as a species. Now that knowledge was not as prevalent, and you can imagine during the time that makes the Health Care Professionals. Mental health was a, at least for the 1st year, depends or make. Lets look at a secondary to the emergency that was peoples physical health. So we cant really, i wouldnt like to put any lens of blaming any want to saying they werent prepared because i dont think any of us were very well prepared. We can only look now into following the research and generals advisory and the advisory by the researches into making better integration for that awareness around social connection and Health Benefits. That link will 9 across the health care sector. What is the correlation between loneliness and physical distancing . Absolutely. So lets explain 1st what is happening in the body with loneliness. And that will explain how the physical touch helps us as human sapiens. So when we were evolving is early humans, we obviously vote in tribes and i think a lot of people, none of this, but a brain quickly connected safety with numbers. And so there was a sense of calm when we were socially connected with the not pride. Our entire another system knew that when im with others, im most supported and im more resilient to save the tooth. Tide is threats to my well being and etc, etc. So what happens when a human being would be signed out of that tribe and lost on the savannah as the body would have a fight or flight response . This is why loneliness is linked to information in the body of cardiovascular disease and lots of other things which well talk to in a moment. But so you can imagine on an incidental level, this is not disruptive. It is not disruptive to have that kick of a fight or flight. Im sort separated from my tribe. I still lonely. But what were seeing with the luminous epidemic now is that people feeling this same loneliness chronically all the time because they feel isolated. And so that means the stress hormones just losing in the body, flooding the body over and over again, and that is what destroys our community and our well being by the time. So what happens with physical distancing is when you dont have the touch of another human being when we actually have super touch, that helps to soothe that stress response. It helps to release of the person doesnt mean happy home. Ive lift, im new to improve. Im going to well be id imagine if you i was are theres no relationship independently, but i was living separately from my partner at the beginning of it. And so i couldnt have that that embrace. So for those people in the, in homes they had up to those people who were single or not living with other people during the pandemic. They did get that physical touch. And it is very, very important. Were the people who are already prone to loneliness, more likely to isolate and the pin demick . Yes, so the lonely brain creates a loop. So let me brain is not rational. So if youre already lonely, your brain will come up with excuses to isolate you further. And things will happen like you will be, so you have less than good quality sleep. So that already will affect your search. Find in your mood. This will then mean that youre more reactive, you have access with other peoples people. What lonely chronically also has a lesson company, disability or not a shop. And then you also hold your loved ones that you might have existing loved ones to a higher standard than its necessary. So you become ultra sensitive and you become you perceive threats, social threats. So you perceive that people might be coming out to you, or that nobody wants to be around you and it becomes, and then you isolate yourself cetera. So if you already what having these thoughts in your head, yes, you are more likely to have it maybe says do not have seen as much of the impact of such a distance thing as those people who with very, very social and not literally probably just fine demick, but you will isolate yourself out of this just happened lately. Brain spirals and loops even for us in on pandemic conditions. Combining this actually constitute a risk for premature mortality and negatively affect mental and physical health. Yeah, so we know across multiple, multiple studies now for years that as social isolation, loneliness is a huge, huge respect to for permit to a death, as well as number of Life Threatening Diseases the, the best point of which is cardiovascular disease. So loneliness is more dangerous fuel bodies and smoking sustains cigarettes a day, 6 alcoholic drinks today and pollution, and also i be city. Sorry, it is very, very, um, natural to us to be not having some form of social connection with other people. And so now in the us, the visor came out the us Surgeon General it as a matter of you know, National Health attention for loneliness to be taken very, very seriously as a threat. 12 physical health and somebody personally, i was really happy this advisory was recently dropped because prior to this, you know, a few of us were shouting on the mountain top about it. But now theres a real push to make it part of the education system. This knowledge of part of the media and entertainment, and the Tech Industries as well to have it integrated this knowledge, that this is actually a threat to our physical health. Therefore, at what point do you feel that social isolation and distancing, begin doing more damage to our health, then good in the timeline of depend demik . Yes, so i always think this is really interesting. And so i wrote it because we were isolating, obviously, because of a very aggressive spread of a contagious virus. Yes, what happened cost is, is points, is when social isolation started to really sink in. We were actually running out of unity, long term pasta pandemic. So itd be exact thing we were trying to say. I mean from what, of course some of us who were punch its loading us and did not recall that post tend to make with the long term effects to our uh, physical health. And on top to on jen z before, you know, one of the reasons i think they are still a group of the stuff that post pandemic is because the part of time when they were learning to get the social skills to bounce back off of the pen to me they were deprived of that, you know, so for those of us that might already have strong communication and the personal skills that we brought with an animal of childhood. Maybe we recovered a little bit more easily and integrate ourselves after a small period of social openness, more than then that particular group. Thank you, simone hang after the break. Most i just dont question is rather when the next event happens, which caused the globe to have to go into locked on again, but will be handled differently. Well discuss the museums are important for preserving our history so that it is a loss to future generations. But our physical museums, places themselves a relic of the past. This is one of the best museums of the world. The human touch in Saint Petersburg to help proceeds the director here and i bet he has met the vast majority of the us citizens are not well rented. They 2, they pay very little attention to foreign policy. All of it have trouble locating ukraine on a map. And as a result, theyve been very susceptible to a steady stream of propaganda that has painted russia as this aggressive imperial power. The ok welcome back. Im just kind of using you were watching the 360 view. Were continuing our discussion about the long term effects on society, caused by the cobit 19 loc downs, with our guest simone hang a motivational speaker on loneliness, and also rob les talked about loneliness. Thank you. For staying with us simone, you know, i want to start off this segment by talking about researchers and how they can develop better interventions to increase peoples amount of social interaction or to improve the quality of their close relationship. What do you suggest . Yes, and with this particular us Search Engine was advisory thats come out as an entire strategy across all sectors. And what people can do to improve things successfully. We need to cultivate a culture of connection. That means empathy, kindness, inclusivity into the way as individuals. We live our lives, thinking about cell or human versus the very individualistic way that we have been living in the past, i guess, to decades from what the studies show us. So firstly, putting that had on when we leave the house when we interact with operations, when we go about that day when we create outsourced calendar, thats one of the things that we can do. And the other thing that is being advised to local communities is how cities and towns are planned. We have to remember that when we were evolving and tries when we finally became you know, no no matic. Our villages were always built around a central meeting place, like the town piazza or a place of worship of cities are no longer necessarily plants that way. And maybe we have to look at that. And, and they decide to have a culture of connection that also syncs into how public transport and Public Places are being planned and used green spaces and cities as well. So thats always this kind of social infrastructure. And then of course, within the education and health care systems, as i mentioned, oh yes, having an awareness about the link between our physical immunity, the Mental Health and social connection and the benefits of being socially well connected is really, really, really important as well. So these are just a few things, and even some of the advisory was angel. So, you know, the teachers actually putting into syllabus is the importance of the stigmatizing loneliness and the conversation for young people. Because i think that thats a big part of it too, is, is not being afraid to say on lonely. Its a biological response that we will experience at least once in our lives that Online Interactions have enough of an effect on preventing loneliness or do these interactions actually cause damage to how people will interact and person. Yeah, this is a really good question. I think with the in a spread struck today by mentor and a lot of whats being called for us to also ask the transparency from Tech Companies to research as can have a data on the long term effects of social media use and build out studies. So the answer is it depends on your boundaries. So i would use myself of example, i dont know, tom would digital output, very, very active on social media. But we really focus on write about this in my book level of boundaries as to how many hours as to how technology is used in the presence of others. The phone goes away. Im not really a scroll and they have a post and goes to a create content and then i, i try not to be scrolling on there. Now imagine for people who dont have the boundaries of whos prefrontal cortex there, this tune of less than they dont have those for Decision Making type of capabilities. A pandemic hit technology was everywhere. The only way to connect and those boundaries were not this. So i think the answer is, i think it absolutely can disrupt the wayne, which could present with other people. And i think its up to the parents about lessons to draw those boundaries. And then for those of us were adults to also to boundaries on our technologies we, we, we have to, its, its, its frank mentioning our Attention Span for the people that we love for in person in front of us who have the interest in chemicals to diminish alignment us, do you think we are presented in another situation in the future, which calls for isolation and distancing the medical professionals and well be more informed to provide better guidance. Everything that ive read points to that and so being yes, i think we are so much better equipped as a society for another situation might depend demik. What we know is that communities that it already so it should be connected. However, when things like a pandemic or natural dissolve to happen, they were comfortable quickly and they also experience most i tell it is because in these highly structurally connected communities, mavis totally shut up extra instructional information. And because they know each other, the Response Time to any sort of emergencies quicker. So yes, i think were going to be better prepared. But yes, we also have to do programs like this and write books like i have to shop from the rooftop to put in that social fabric. That cohesiveness that if Something Like a pandemic happened again, our word of mouth without access to each other is much quicker. And so we prevent lots of lot, we prevent illness, we prevent all the things that, that happen in a ton of, of, you know, a negative emergency. You mentioned that there were specific issues for generations. The before the pandemic. Like what i think one of the big issues that we read about is, is polarization causing mistrust and disconnection within sight of fabrics. The case of this is also another cause of luminous. And i feel that gen z alpha less culberson about the differences between us, the sama. Compassionate and open and knowledgeable about the differences within a population has to be sensitive towards different sorts of individuals. And they do see each other in a much less guess. Bigoted way than maybe even my generation to generation for me. So there are also incredibly connected things about trans the to and the mindset and the way that they think. But the Technology Use and what happened with a pandemic also does work against them. But i do want to emphasize that im not at all doing gleaming gens the because theres a lot of good things about the mindset and the culture that works for them in terms of connection. What are the effects of loneliness on physical health, on living alone . Theres also, you know, a lot of some research to suggest that loneliness is a, you know, a pre casts or, or a bedrock for depression and anxiety. And that might seem like a really logical link to some people, but some people are not aware of that. And it can also shop in other things like quoting disorder, which is also Mental Health disorder, which my, my people in my own family suffer from. So theres a lot of danger in moment us, not just to the physical body, but in how it affects that mind me brain isolates further and then leads to depression and anxiety which, where were seeing a lot of post pandemic as well. Now to address the question about living alone, you know, when we talk about the about people at the end of their lives and extending their life spend through Human Connection. I can really lean into this. Its my own personal story. My mother had a stroke which strikes are also one of the illnesses that are a big symptom of luminous. So she was a striking wheel chair. And because i was living in board, my sister was in australia. We kind of go to settled into this nursing home facility and she had all of these visitors. And i really realized that those people who were having that life span kind of extended, shes now outlived the degenerative disease. She has by about 5 years. So shes now been there for 10 years, but particularly the beginning, she would have lines of people visiting. Huh. So the seeds of Human Connection that you so right now, use those Health Benefits to send you live, spend at the end of your life. We also know theres something called, the widow is a fact. So this is really interesting. Women and men connect differently. So historically, where women would use the talent a and rum, the social calendar of the house. Her husband would tag along. Now, you know, we dont know how a recent data this is, but this is the widow is effect. And then when that particular woman would pass, she would take protests running at the social calendar. And the mail would follow and passed quite shortly after. And they call it, the widow is effect. This very reason. Just another case study that supports how important during that end winter of your life, Human Connection is to the quality of your life during that time. Okay, i wanna make sure that i heard you clearly. So are you arguing that loneliness is a precursor to possibly getting a stroke . What we know is that loneliness can be like the petri dish for some like shortening diseases and particular cardiovascular and struck shop again. And again. Also in the us Search Engine was advisory as one of the leading illnesses that loneliness actually contributes to for the very same thing that i was mentioned before about those trust home minds about the inflammation, the party that it causes and a lot of other, you know, and seek medical Science Behind it. But its, its actually, i think with quite amazed people the effect that loneliness and social isolation have on our physical bodies. Thank you, simone hanger for your insight today. And if you like what she says, they hear you can read her book, lets talk about loneliness. Thank you for joining us. Scientist and members of society together must acknowledge that pin demik. Loneliness had significant impacts on emotional and mental well being. The isolation and feeling of loneliness that were either forced or chosen in fear contributed to multiple Mental Health challenges like stress, depression, and anxiety. And while these are just emotional effects, they are potentially devastating to ones physical being. And it is crucial that the Global Community acknowledges and addresses them, but i fear they will purposely be ignored because acknowledging their existence means one acknowledges they are the result of the decisions made regarding the pandemic. Those we trust in obeyed to keep us healthy, have possibly caused us to become more sick. Im sure i know hughes, and this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. Thanks for watching the the, [000 00 00;00] the south side of this island, new jersey government is said to be in negotiations with paris on the withdrawal of 5 trips from the west african country.
