Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan notes that loneliness is the biggest nightmare of modernism and states that if measures are not taken after the pandemic, the crisis could erupt from loneliness. Drawing attention to the loneliness of young people, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that youth and adolescence is a period of socialization, warning, “A generation is coming that lives with cell phones in their hands and never meets with friends.” He added, “now, a loving gaze, a sincere smile, a warm touch, and a few kind words are very precious.” Founding Rector of Üsküdar Üniversitesi, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, evaluated the effects of the pandemic, which has been a part of our lives for over a year, on our psychology. **How did the pandemic affect our mental health?** • We need to view the pandemic as a crisis from which we will leave notes for history. It is the first time in human history that humanity has been affected by an epidemic to this extent. There were plague epidemics before, but these epidemics remained within a single continent, whereas this is a global epidemic spreading across continents. • To understand the psychological dimension of the pandemic, we need to look at its potential impact on individuals, society, and global societies. This is a crisis. In crisis management, there are two important rules. The first rule is that during a crisis, the crisis resembles a chain. This is like the chain of time in social life. The strongest point of the chain is its weakest link. When there is tension and stress, the chain breaks at its weakest point. Similarly, if we think of society as a chain, when there is a crisis, society becomes strained, and a breakdown begins at its weak points. One of these weak points is currently loneliness. **According to Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, the biggest impact is “Loneliness”** • The biggest impact of the pandemic affecting the whole world has been loneliness. Loneliness will explode after the pandemic. Measures must be taken for the post-pandemic period. A pandemic of psychiatric illnesses is expected in the post-pandemic period. • The nightmare of modernism is loneliness. I predict this crisis will erupt from loneliness. Currently, there aren't enough statistics, but there were global precursors to this. Here, loneliness became the global breaking point of psychological tension. A breakdown will occur from here. There are other possibilities, but this is the most important. The second rule of crises is that events never resolve themselves during a crisis. When a breakdown occurs, it doesn't spontaneously return to normal. In this crisis, if we don't take measures regarding loneliness, it will leave an even bigger scar. • If we take a global measure against the crisis, we can prevent much greater damages. Here, whichever society can globally find a solution to loneliness, that society will escape the nightmare of loneliness in the post-pandemic era. If no one takes measures against this, they will not be able to escape the nightmare of loneliness and will collapse like the late Roman period. **Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan recommends the following to families** • There are 4 rules I highly recommend within the family: A loving gaze, a sincere smile, a warm touch, and a few kind words. These four points are remedies for loneliness in close relationships and experiences. • An evaluation needs to be made regarding whether the pandemic is a danger or an opportunity. Our freedom was restricted, but our ability to delay gratification improved. Our physical and mental comfort decreased, but we had more time to develop ourselves and strengthen family ties. Our pleasure and speed-oriented lifestyle was restricted, but we were able to discover new interests. We couldn't exercise some of our rights, but we also realized that others have rights. We were very rough with nature, but we learned that we need to be more careful about global pollution and climate change. • We learned that not only economic prosperity but also spiritual well-being is important. We sit on such a resource with our own values. We sit on cultural and social capital. If we do not activate this, future generations will say "shame on our ancestors" to us. Therefore, we have a responsibility towards them. --- *Kaynak: [Üsküdar Haber Ajansı](https://uha.com.tr) — https://uha.com.tr/nevzat-tarhan-youth-loneliness-should-not-be-ignored*
