Other benefits of social support

Although stress relief is one major benefit,


social support is also essential to maintaining
your overall mental health. Connecting with
others can:
Increase happiness. If you want a quick
mood boost, schedule time with a friend.
Research shows that good social relations
improve overall happiness. On the other
hand, loneliness and low social support is
linked to depression and anxiety.
Improve physical health. Social isolation is
associated with an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease, cancer, high blood
pressure, and inflammation. Loneliness can
also have a negative effect on your immune
system.
Improve cognitive functioning. Social
isolation and loneliness can accelerate
cognitive decline. Maintaining an active
social life is especially important for
people who are at risk of dementia or in the
early stages of the disease.Ease the pain
and loneliness of grief. The death of a
loved one or loss of a relationship can
make you feel alone in your grief. Friends
and family members can offer emotional
support in troubling times
