Loneliness with Ellie

Hello & Welcome to the Research Zone podcast, the podcast where we aim to make sense of youth mental health research. Each week, we will talk to a different researcher to learn about their research project, discussing the why, what, where, when and how of their research, and most importantly, how this can benefit us as young people. 

Today I am joined by Ellie Pearce to chat about Loneliness as a contributor to anxiety and depression in young people. The research paper, Loneliness as an Active Ingredient explores the ways in which loneliness can contribute to depression and anxiety.
