Abstract: Social isolation has become an increasingly prevalent concern in the modern world, drawing attention from scholars in psychology, sociology, public health, and behavioral sciences. It represents more than physical solitude; it is a multidimensional phenomenon that disrupts individual well-being, undermines community cohesion, and creates challenges for healthcare and policy systems worldwide. This article offers a thorough interdisciplinary examination of social isolation, its causes, manifestations, and implications for mental, physical, and social health. Drawing on psychological theories, sociological frameworks, and empirical research, the paper demonstrates that social isolation is a critical determinant of overall well-being, with consequences comparable to other major public health risks. Finally, it explores strategies and interventions, emphasizing the need for integrative approaches to address this pressing issue in the context of globalization, digitalization, and rapidly changing social structures.
