Socialization Can Help

One of the best ways to help your loved one maintain their happiness is by encouraging them to socialize with friends and family or people from outside their normal social circle. Making new connections can help foster happiness and offers the opportunity for seniors to share their thoughts, memories and make new friends. It may even help improve their memory and ability to recall previous events by strengthening the connections they have to positive memories!

What’s The Science Behind It All

Researchers give neurotransmitters the credit for the mental health benefits of socializing. While talking with AARP about this subject, Lou Cozolino, a psychologist and professor of psychology at Pepperdine University, believes that the release of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin into the brain creates this effect. When a person’s brain releases these three neurotransmitters, stress is reduced and it’s easier to feel a sense of well-being and contentment.
