Mental distress is on the rise for people who work from home. Researchers found that these individuals spend more time by themselves. A study published in a scientific journal analyzed surveys of workers from 2011 to 2024.

The data shows a change in behavior after the pandemic. People who work remotely now spend about an extra hour alone each workday. This is compared to those who work in an office setting.

Further information about the study and its findings can be found through the original source. The trend of working from home has continued even as workplaces reopened.
