My roommate has schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

The first thing we look for when his mental health starts to go is social interaction. As soon as he starts to get antisocial we know his mental health is tanking.

Humans need social interaction. Happiness is a muscle and it's best strengthened with other people. Seeing people at all improves mental health.

Humans are social creatures whether people want to believe it or not.

Being isolated and alone will make almost anyone unhappy and unwell, whether that person will admit it or not.
