While **calm solitude can be stress-reducing**, the effects become surprisingly severe when loneliness is involuntary and imposed. This video takes a deep look at the psychological and physical consequences of **long-term forced isolation**, often known as "solitary confinement".
*In this video, you will explore:*
*Biological Changes:* Learn how the deprivation of social interactions causes anxiety hormones to surge suddenly, leading to *chronic stress* over time.
*Impact on Brain Function:* Discover how continuous stimulation leads to the *overactivity of the brain’s limbic system* (which regulates fear and anxiety). Meanwhile, the *prefrontal cortex* (the center for reasoning and moral judgment) may shrink, impairing focus, memory, and perception. This imbalance shifts thinking from reasonable to **emotional thinking**, making individuals prone to anxiety, anger, and irrational actions. This situation can also set the stage for **depression, obsession, suicidal thoughts, hallucination, and delusion**.
*Physical and Mental Health:* Find out about the physical effects of isolation, such as **loss of awareness of time, sleep problems, heart palpitations, headaches, dizziness, and hypersensitivity**.
*Isolation as Torture:* The UN, many human rights bodies, and experts consider **long-term forced isolation to be torture**.
*Statistics and Long-Term Consequences:* In 2019, over 120,000 U.S. prisoners were living in solitary cells, spending 22 to 24 hours a day in predominantly windowless cells. The experience of solitary confinement has long-term effects; individuals who have experienced it are *three times more likely to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)**. They often report personality changes, increased **anxiety and paranoia* in normal situations, and difficulty concentrating and connecting with others.
*Comparing Approaches:* A comparison of the U.S. approach with countries like **Norway**, which spends five times more per prisoner on amenities and reentry programs and has one of the **lowest recidivism rates in the world**.
See why *social interactions* and "social reality testing" are essential for our emotional stability.
