- Persistent Loneliness: A Relentless—and Prevalent—Problem What are the psychological and physiological effects of persistent loneliness? How prevalent is persistent loneliness in the US? What role can cognitive behavioral therapy play for persistently lonely people? In this podcast, an expert offers a brief overview of this underappreciated, but often overlooked, problem.
