Obsessing over loneliness is a key factor in the development of depression
The results of a recent analysis suggest that therapies should focus on reducing repetitive and negative thoughts rather than simply promoting more social connections
According to data from the latest report from the State Observatory of Unwanted Loneliness (SoledadES), corresponding to the year 2024, one in five people in Spain suffers from loneliness, and of these, almost 70% say they have been in that situation for more than two years. The feeling of loneliness is especially common among young people. The prevalence is 34.6% in people between 18 and 24 years of age, and 27.1% in the age group from 25 to 34.
