Vivek Murthy visits Lincoln High School, plans to meet with military families
Vivek Murthy’s mission as Surgeon General is to tell the American people about pressing health issues, but on Monday afternoon at a YMCA in the San Diego neighborhood of Mountain View, he came to listen.
Since the release of the advisory, Murthy has had some round table discussions with youth in other cities, which he said will help shape policies going forward. “I feel mental health affects all parts of health,” one girl said. “For me, I got sad, and I didn’t eat for four days.” “She pointed out that she had seen disparities in her own community,” Murthy said after the event. “A lot of young people have so much experience with this, because a lot of them and their friends are struggling. They’re starting to see where the system is broken and where it needs to be fixed.”
Meeting with reporters before the exercises with students, Murthy said he issued the advisory as a call to action and to highlight youth mental health. Murthy’s advisory also called for society to eliminate the stigma associated with mental health so more people will get help.
