#DigitalLoneliness

Loneliness is emerging as a major yet often unspoken mental health issue worldwide, with new research highlighting subtle warning signs that may escape notice—even in the midst of active social lives. According to a leading clinical psychologist whose work was recently shared in the Times of India, four “hidden” symptoms—doomscrolling, superficial social exchanges, persistent overthinking of interactions, and a sense of not belonging—require immediate attention to prevent further harm to mental well-being. As these findings gain traction, Thai mental health experts urge the public to recognize and address loneliness before it quietly undermines physical and psychological health.
