This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

editSocial Isolation
"The lack of social contacts and having few people to interact with regularly." [1]
Covid-19 and social deprivation
editDuring Covid-19 children were forced to quarantine and therefore experienced social deprivation. While the Covid-19 pandemic was at its peak it was vital that people stayed socially distanced and quarantine. This meant that people were forced to socially isolate leading to social deprivation. During and following this time period there has been a spike in mental health issues and by using life theory scientists can predict that this will affect the social development of younger people later on in their lives [2].
Mental Illness
Over 500 hundred studies have been screened and the conclusions how a strong correlation between social isolation and an increase in anxiety and depression. [3] The social isolation of young people leads to higher levels of cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone and have too much of it over a period of time can lead to anxiety disorders [4].
Brain development
Research also suggests that socially deprived children have imbalances with hormones associated with affiliative and positive social behavior, specifically oxytocin and vasopressin. Institutionalized children showed a marked decrease in vasopressin and oxytocin levels while interacting with their caregiver compared to controls. Failure to receive proper social interaction at a young age disrupts normal neuroendocrine system developments that mediate social behavior. Social deprivation leads to decreased dopamine D2 receptors. The dopamine system plays a role in changes in social behavior which in this case it caused by social deprivation. [5]
