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. Get full access to Are You Okay? at lucymcbride.substack.com/subscribe

Each week, Dr. Lucy McBride talks with her guests like she does her patients — pulling the curtain back on what it means to be healthy, connecting the dots between mental and physical health. To Dr. McBride, health is about more than the absence of disease. Health is a process, not an outcome. It's about having awareness of our medical data, acceptance of the things we cannot control, and agency over the areas we can change. It starts with access to fact-based information to care for our body and mind.
