Talk:Social isolation

message: Let's start anew, please. I've kept the citations, but deleted most of the article and tried to tighten up the rest of what little good stuff there was here, to possibly continue to use a few of these things in the future. Contribute please. Kikodawgzzz (talk) 19:53, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  imposed by others 

message: For whomever maintains this page, it would be nice please to make note of adults, though not elderly, who are subjected to forced isolation due to chronic medical conditions. There are many individuals whose lives are stolen by illness and who, due to no fault of their own, are forced to "live" in isolation. Pillartopost (talk) 17:44, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Pillartopost! You seem to know a bit about this. If you have good, WP:reliable sources then please be bold and write a section about it! With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 07:06, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

text: Hi Scottart56! Thank you for your comment and I am sorry to read about your sister. Why don't you look for WP:reliable sources on mental illness and isolation (or chronic illness and isolation) and then be bold and write a section about it? Just try, and we'll help if your edits need tweaking. With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 08:08, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Chronic Illness and Isolation

message: Also, isolation due to crime/the effects of crime are major problems. 50% of women who were being stalked said they avoided leaving their homes (Mullen et al, Stalkers and their Victims). 1 in 5 women are stalked during their lifetime. Thus this is a very significant number of women who are isolated at some stage in their lives. Note that the epidemic of stalking is not taken seriously by law enforcement nor by healthcare workers. Victims of persistent and/or serious crimes are generally not supported by society which leads to an imposed isolation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.58.68 (talk) 00:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  CRIME and social isolation  

message: This article on Social Isolation is about self-imposed, voluntary isolation by an individual from his or her society.  
The article on Isolation Techniques (Individual) is about certain psychological abuse methodologies that psychiatrists have term "Isolating Techniques".  This article focuses on these abuse tactics used by a perpetrator towards an unwilling victim and is not at all about self-imposed or voluntary isolation.  
These two articles have no more in common than a shared word that is used as a noun in one article and as an adjective in the other.
To classify enforced isolation or ostrazation
of an unwilling victim in the same category as self-imposed withdrawal from society is to imply that a victim of psychological abuse is somehow suffering the same mental disorder as a patient who has a 'social isolation' mental illness.
I therefore propose NOT merging these two articles together, as they simply do not address the same subject. Isobel Chaveh (talk) 22:52, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed Merging of Article Isolation Techniques (Individual) into this article

message: I have expanded the social isolation in the elderly section by connecting age-related hearing loss to social isolation, as well as including related health risks and mortality from social isolation. Deanatrimble (talk) 03:38, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expanded social isolation in elderly 

message: In this case, why are so many studies on "lonely people" described? 73.161.233.103 (talk) 12:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  "It differs from loneliness" 

message: It pushes a repugnant group think position equating some objective factors with a subjective one-size-fits-all judgment of what is right for everybody and in particular my age group (over 65) which shows one main driver of isolation, oblivious projection. Ofc it has plenty of support because this is a common societal position: as WebMD puts it and this article implicitly agrees, everyone needs a social support network. This is just false, aside from the objective sense of being active in practical networks in society in general. You can have good, healthy, meaningful and even intimate interactions with people in general without joining groups of the like minded, sex/familial/religious delusion/capitalist workplace/bourgeois political formation associated, or plain ol ignorant clumps outta the masses of same. According to the perspective implicit here, if ur not a joiner of at least some such, and dont feel lonely as a result, ur sick. Just sayin. Lycurgus (talk) 12:25, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
