Dr. Steven Schnur, CEO of Lynx Advisory and Lynx Medical, board-certified internist and cardiologist, joins Bailey & Buck Unplugged for a grounded conversation on mental health. He shares how he performed life-saving CPR mid-flight, why he tells patients to “treat mental illness like a disease,” and the simple 1–10 mood scale he uses with family and friends to spark honest check-ins. Dr. Schnur also tackles the darker realities of social media, pointing to the recent Charlie Kirk murder circulating online as an example of how constant exposure to violence and negativity warps perception, fuels depression, and heightens suicide risk among teens and young adults. His insights shed light on why today’s generation faces such heavy mental health challenges and what parents, friends, and communities can do to help. We dig into exercise, nutrition, and tight-circle accountability as daily tools, the impact of comparison culture, and a clear, compassionate take on when medication matters in the short term versus lifelong care. Plus, practical ways to notice early warning signs and start real conversations at home.
