Solitude is a state of seclusion or isolation, i.e., lack of contact
with people. It can have both positive and negative effects, depending
on the situation. Short-term solitude is often valued as a time when
one may work, think or rest without being disturbed. It may be desired
for the sake of privacy. Undesirable long-term solitude may stem from
bad relationships, loss of loved ones, deliberate choice, infectious
disease, mental disorders, neurological disorders or circumstances of
employment or situation.A distinction has been made between solitude
and loneliness. In this sense, these two words refer, respectively, to
the joy and the pain of being alone.Symptoms from complete isolation,
called sensory deprivation, often include anxiety, sensory illusions,
or even distortions of time and perception. However, this is the case
when there is no stimulation of the sensory systems at all, and not
only lack of contact with people. Thus, by having other things to keep
one's mind busy, this is avoided.Still, long-term solitude is often
seen as undesirable, causing loneliness or reclusion resulting from
inability to establish relationships. Furthermore, it might even lead
to clinical depression. However, for some people, solitude is not
depressing. Still others (e.g. monks) regard long-term solitude as a
means of spiritual enlightenment. Indeed, marooned people have been
left in solitude for years without any report of psychological
symptoms afterwards.[citation needed] Solitude Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
