While loneliness is a normal human experience, it can contribute to unhealthy behaviours (such as physical inactivity + poor sleep), increased stress and higher blood pressure. Get proactive by identifying your level of loneliness and take steps to connect with others.

Dr. Kerry Burnight has a PhD and is the Chief Gerontologist at GrandPad. She was formerly a Professor of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology at the University of California, Irvine. For 20 years, as a professor, she researched elder exploitation, loneliness, and dementia.
