How does isolation affect a person's moods?

Beyond mortality and illness, isolation can breed depression, which has reached epidemic proportions in our country, through a complex mix of predispositon and culture. Somewhere around 15% of our population suffers from clinical depression; many more have depressive symptoms that do not rise to the level of a diagnosis. And women are twice as susceptible to it as men.

Age is not a risk factor for depression, but isolation is. Decades of research have shown over and over again that low levels of social connection can lead to depression -- and depression in turn can lead to heart attacks and cancer.
