Loneliness is a heavy burden to carry. And, as it seems, nearly half the nation can vouch for that, judging by the latest Cigna research.
A nationwide survey conducted by the health insurance company revealed that Americans are battling a loneliness epidemic, which plagues nearly half the people living in the United States.
Surprisingly, the research found that older people are less likely to fall prey to loneliness, which seems to hit millennials and Generation Z members the hardest.
Cigna points out that loneliness has reached an epidemic state in the U.S. and that it’s deeply impacting people’s mental wellness and vitality. This nationwide blight stems from a lack of personal interactions and is more striking in the younger generations, notes a BusinessWire news release.
In fact, the Cigna survey points out that Generation Z, comprising people aged 18 to 22, “is the loneliest generation” and appears to be in worse mental health than the older generations.
