The Surgeon General of The United States, Dr. Vivek Murthy, is on a mission to amplify the importance of mental health. This week, Dr. Murthy shares his personal experience with loneliness and how he came to see healthy relationships as the foundation for emotional well-being.
Drs. Murthy and McBride discuss the distinction between loneliness and isolation and the mental health toll of living through a pandemic. As the first White House official to sound the alarm on the youth mental health crisis, Dr. Murthy explains the harms of social media and our "culture of comparison” to young people today. He also shares his new framework on workplace well-being and why he remains optimistic about the future of our mental health.
