WFFormer U.S Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy visited Charlotte Tuesday as part of a national initiative to address loneliness and social isolation.
Murthy met with community groups across Charlotte, including a stop at the Do Greater Charlotte creative tech lab, where he spoke with a handful of high school students about how social media and the pandemic have increased feelings of isolation.
It's a concern, Murthy says he often hears from students.
“They’re concerned that social media is often making them lonelier,” Murthy said. And that it's contributing to their anxiety and to their depression.”
