Feature interview: Is there really an urgent loneliness crisis?

Loneliness isn't the urgent crisis we've been led to believe. It's not a new problem. It's not an emergency and it's not beyond our control says psychiatrist and Professor at Trinity College Dublin Brendan Kelly. Almost everyone goes through times when we feel lonely. It's an unchanging part of human life. And while it can be a challenge for many people, Dr Kelly argues that mislabelling loneliness as an epidemic and medicalizing normal human experiences can distract us from long-term solutions. Professor Kelly joins us from Dublin.
