What does loneliness do to our brains?

from Do you really know? Hosted by Bababam

But here’s the thing: being introverted or enjoying solitude isn’t the same as being lonely. Loneliness can actually become painful, and even harmful, when it drags on for too long. What happens when loneliness becomes chronic then? How does that work then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
