Greece faces rising levels of social isolation and loneliness

Professor Giorgos Piperopoulos discusses the increasing psychosocial reality of loneliness and depression among the Greek population. He describes a growing sense of disconnection from the community and a subjective feeling of isolation within modern society.

This phenomenon is observed across major Greek urban centers, including Athens, Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Larissa, and Heraklion. Piperopoulos notes that despite the physical density of people in public spaces, workplaces, and transport, many individuals experience profound emotional solitude and a lack of meaningful social connection.
