What are the health benefits of improving my relationships?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many proven benefits: Quoting from http://hsb.Sagepub.Com/content/51/1_suppl/s54.Full : "social relationships—both quantity and quality—affect mental health, health behavior, physical health, and mortality risk... The risk of death among men and women with the fewest social ties was more than twice as high as the risk for adults with the most social ties." improving relationships makes you both happier & healthier!
