About Migraines
A migraine is a severe headache that tends to recur with symptoms like nausea and vomiting. The pain is usually on one side of the head and there is an added sensitivity to bright lights and noises. Moving around can make the headaches feel worse. Although, there are many forms of migraine headaches, classic and common are the two major varieties. People with migraines are called migraineurs.
INTRODUCTION
Research work by Baum (1982) indicates a reawakening interest in examining loneliness, especially among the elderly over the last several years which is of international in scope. One impetus for the new interest is the realization that loneliness is a serious and widespread problem for many elderly persons today (Weiss, 1973). Even though loneliness is perceived as an important consideration in oldage, there is no clear understanding of what loneliness is, or of what may contribute to, or exacerbate its development among the elderly. Although space constraints do not allow for a complete review of growing literature on loneliness (Hartog, Audy and Cohen, 1980) but some understanding of how loneliness is viewed is necessary to identify the basic issues involved. Polansky (1985) has indicated that “loneliness is a nearly universal human emotion-(where) all but the most fortunate-are subject to it.” Young (1980) defines loneliness as the absence or perceived absence of satisfactory social relationships. Russell, Peplau and Cutrona (1980) consider loneliness as reflecting interpersonal social relationships.
