Surgeon General Vivek Murthy isn’t shying away from politics, as his mother had once hoped when he was a kid. Today, Murthy is in second term as the “Nation's Doctor,” and in that job, he’s taken on powerful tech companies, saying their algorithms and some online content are making the country’s children mentally ill.

Republicans had long feared Murthy harbored plans to state that gun violence a public health crisis, speculation that almost derailed his first appointment to the job by Democratic President Barack Obama a decade ago. “When you hear these stories again and again from middle school students, from high school students and college students, those stories stick with you,” Murthy said. “It was inescapable to me that we had to do something about this.”
“My hope is that we can shift looking at it as a polarizing and political issue and see it for what it is, which is a public health issue that affects all of us from people in small communities in American to people who running for high office in our land,” Murthy said. “The response has been overwhelmingly positive, not just from the public but from the medical and public health profession” Murthy said. “And I have a theory as to why, which is that doctors are actually seeing loneliness and mental health challenges on the front lines themselves in exam rooms, in hospitals each and every day.”
