Common signs and symptoms

Social isolation is not considered a mental health condition by itself. Rather, it is a symptom or pattern that can appear in many different emotional, psychological, developmental, and behavioral conditions. It is commonly seen in people experiencing depression, social anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, psychosis, personality-related interpersonal difficulties, agoraphobia, and substance-related issues. Because social isolation can occur across many different mental health conditions, there is no single category that includes all people who experience it.

• Persistent withdrawal from social, occupational, or interpersonal activities.

• Avoidance of social interaction due to fear, anxiety, mistrust, emotional distress, or lack of interest in relationships.

• Reduced participation in work, school, family, or community functioning.

• Feelings of detachment, loneliness, emotional numbness, or discomfort around others.

• Social isolation associated with depressed mood, trauma-related symptoms, psychotic symptoms, personality-related interpersonal difficulties, or substance-related behaviors.

• Symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
