Isolement, solitude... les dégâts de la pandémie sur la santé mentale des seniors

Faced with the Covid-19 lockdown, is it better to get sick from the coronavirus or to become depressed from loneliness? According to a report published by the association Les Petits frères des pauvres, 900,000 people aged 60 and over in France isolated themselves from their family and friends during the first lockdown. Among them, 300,000 experienced extreme isolation, hardly ever or very rarely meeting other people. A situation described as "social death." Our reporters share powerful testimonies from our elders, as well as from loved ones and volunteers who are helping to break their isolation.
