Karan Bhatia, a therapist with the Lafene Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) staff, and student host Belle Chavey discuss the mental health perspective of chronic loneliness. They delve into topics relating to the emotional/psychological effects of chronic loneliness, how loneliness impacts mental health issues like anxiety, and when/how to seek support. This episode is a part of a four-episode series discussing topics inspired by K-State’s common read for the 2025-2026 academic year, Together, by Vivek H. Murthy, MD. By shedding light on how loneliness affects K-State students, we aim to raise awareness, offer comfort, and provide resources to our audience.
