"The U.S. Surgeon General joins Rich to share the health consequences of loneliness and what we can do as a country to foster more connection and community."
"Many people are suffering, not just from health concerns and economic hardship, but also from loneliness—the prevalence of which has skyrocketed in recent years.
Studies indicate that about half of U.S. adults have reported experiencing loneliness. The impact of this extends beyond a decline in mental health, increasing the risk of heart disease, dementia, stroke, and even premature death. Meet the 21st Surgeon General of the United States, Vice Admiral Dr. Vivek Murthy.
As the nation’s top doctor, Dr. Vivek Murthy helps to advance the health and well-being of all Americans and has worked to address critical public health issues such as social media’s impact on youth mental health, burnout in the health worker community, and our nation’s epidemic of loneliness and isolation."
