We as humans are not that far removed from our 'caveman' ancestors. Membership in a tribe/family was the difference between life and death. Despite any modern 'John Wayne' rugged individualism, man is a communal animal.
Being alone, feeling isolated leads to significant increases in anxiety and depression.
Whereas this is not exclusively the reason, it is a contributing factor.
