Epidemic levels of loneliness can increase cases of anxiety and depression, and Carter Barnhart, founder of the virtual mental health platform Charlie Health, says the problem defies simple explanations like overuse of social media. Barnhart is on a mission to improve access to mental health services like group therapy, and to prevent suicides in particular. With Charlie operating in more than 30 states, hers is a hopeful outlook toward a future with more treatment options for all.
