Feeling lonely is a natural human experience, we can all experience loneliness at some point in our lives.
However, people with a long term condition such as a lung condition, may be at greater risk of experiencing social isolation or loneliness. This can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. Staying in touch with friends, relatives and people in your community is good for your health and wellbeing.
