I spoke with a bunch of small mental-health practice owners across the country. In the wake of the Change Healthcare cyberattack that halted their payments, these businesses are hanging on by a thread.

For many months, @BusinessInsider has explored one of the most pressing issues of our time: Modern Loneliness📲

We live in a paradox: Society is more digitally connected than ever, yet feelings of disconnection are surging📊

In May, the @Surgeon_General described an "epidemic of loneliness and isolation" affecting our physical + mental health.🎯

Its presence is felt on a global scale — a recent survey from @Gallup and @Meta suggests nearly a quarter of people around the world feel lonely.

Our "Modern Loneliness" series delves into:

- the complexities of isolation
- its causes + effects📱
- how people are dealing with it in hyperconnected world

Through more than a dozen features, we explored the trend through tales of solitude, return-to-office observations, generational gaps, economic woes, dating pitfalls, and more.📊🚨⏰💻

And, as part of the project, my colleague @NSheidlower and I reported on how loneliness and inflation are keeping Gen-Z sidelined from dating, speaking to experts including:

- @tawkify CEO @kellieammerman
- Top events producer @andruyeung
- @LinkedIn chief economy Karin Kimbrough
- Personal finance expert @pricelesstayy
- @getsaturdayapp founder @clifflerner
+ more

I've been writing about women's health for a decade & I'd never heard of #freebirth-- delivering w/out a doc or midwife. 🤯 @charissa_cheong & I looked into its presence on tiktok, & why it's neither "natural" nor safe. TY @drnicolerankins @MamaDoctorJones https://t.co/v3lqUy24zp
