Problems Caused by Self-Isolation during the Coronavirus

Many people are self-isolating (staying at home) these days to avoid the coronavirus.
For some people, self-isolation seems like a dream come true, which can become one
advantage for them because they have more time to spend with their family and they
can take a rest during the isolation. For others being cut off from the outside world,
alone with only a few close family members is a nightmare since people are stuck
indoors for a long period of time, they can report getting “cabin fever”. Observations of
people living in small spaces show that some people find self-isolation more difficult
than others do.
Research suggests that when people lack social connections, they suffer more from
physical health problems. For example, older adults who cannot leave their homes are
more like to have heart disease. On the other hand, for some people, self-isolation
leads to mental health problems. Isolated people may feel depressed and anxious
 because they have lost the support of friends and families to help them deal with this
situation. One disadvantage of self- isolation is that without supporting, people may
also choose more negative strategies, like drinking more alcohol, sleeping very late,
spending all the time in the cellphone without doing any move leading to increase
tensions and conflicts with family members.
Even though, the period of self-isolation needed for coronavirus should not result in
any major changes in how your immune system works. However, it may be a good
idea to try to improve your immunity.
