Scientists working on a pill to cure loneliness
As if there aren't enough pills around already, due to "greater isolation" these days, scientists are now working on a pill to cure loneliness. They are experimenting by giving lonely patients a neurosteroid called pregnenolone (which sounds a little like "pregnant and alone") and they reckon it significantly reduces "perceived loneliness" in the test subjects. Colbert said this was "previously only achievable with prescription-strength cats."
👨🏼🔬Modern life has led to greater isolation, which can fuel an array of disorders. If there are medications for social pains like depression and anxiety, why not loneliness? Only one cure that I know of and thats Participate in LIFE! https://t.co/nxAG9633yq
