@Surgeon_General This is huge. Awesome 👌 thank you. Today's show and Surgeon General for sharing and making us understand that mental health is health care.

@Surgeon_General This is great. So since it is mental health day. Please make sure there are no speeches from a whiny #Hazbeen Prince, who wrote in his book he wanted to blow his father up. He also did the audio. You will lose all credibility. #MentalHealthDay

@Surgeon_General There’s an ongoing pandemic & high-risk people have to weigh the risk of death if they need emergency health care; meanwhile our surgeon general goes on and on about mental health. How about the mental health of immunocompromised people trapped in their homes for a fourth year?
