Determinants of Loneliness is an insightful examination of loneliness as a profound societal and public health issue, magnified through the lenses of history, geography, social dynamics, and mental health. This edited volume juxtaposes the historic valorization of solitude against the modern-day crisis of loneliness, illustrating how shifts in societal structures, technological advancements, and increased global connectivity have paradoxically fostered emotional and technological isolation. The book captures the nuanced impacts of loneliness across various demographics, including adolescents engaging in self-harm, informal caregivers in Africa, and the LGBTQI+ community, underlining the significant mental health risks and societal challenges they face. Additionally, it highlights the exacerbation of loneliness in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, establishing it as a pressing global mental health concern. Through comprehensive analysis and global perspectives, Determinants of Loneliness invites readers to understand and address the multifaceted nature of loneliness, advocating for empathetic and inclusive community actions.
