Solitary is the state of being alone, without companionship or contact with other people and can be voluntary or involuntary, and it can have both positive and negative effects on a person's mental health. Solitary confinement is an extreme form of isolation used as a punishment in prisons and other correctional facilities and has been linked to increased levels of anxiety, depression, anger, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts in inmates who experience it for long periods of time. On the other hand, some people find solace in solitude; they may use it as an opportunity to reflect on their lives or practice mindfulness techniques that help them manage stress and anxiety. Ultimately, solitary should be used sparingly and with caution due to its potential psychological impacts; however, when done right it can be beneficial for both physical and mental wellbeing.
