Does loneliness cause brain damage?
Lots of things cause damage. I like the damage because I'm already broken. Jesus christ drugs are great!
It's as bad as smoking six ciagrettes a day.

Correlation does not equal causation but in short yes.
>drug abuse
>mental illness linked with isolation
>self harm (some mental patients hit own head)
>lack of stimulation causes brain function to lower
>stress causes dementia if in great amounts
So within reason yeah.

Not loneliness alone. A lonely person can live a pretty healthy and active lifestyle. However most lonely people tend to fuck their shit up, and that's why loneliness is seen as a red flag.

Do you remember when I said that correlation does not equal causation?
But sometimes it obviously does cause it. Schizophrenics are known to be anti-social, then suddenly get imaginary friends. Does that sound like the lonely autists tulpa pinky pie story to you?

smoking cigarettes is an antidepressant though, it fights depression damage
