Social Withdrawal and Isolation
What Is Social Withdrawal and Isolation?
Social withdrawal and social isolation are related but distinct experiences that involve pulling away from social interaction, either voluntarily or due to external circumstances. They can significantly affect a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Social withdrawal and isolation can lead to:

Increased risk of anxiety and depression

Poor self-esteem

Weakened immune system and physical health
