With experience treating trauma in both the ER and on the battlefield, Dr. McConkey has witnessed firsthand the rise in anxiety, depression, and suicide-especially among young people. He draws on his dual roles to highlight the toll of isolation, screen dependency, and a breakdown in resilience following school and community closures. On the show, he'll discuss the urgent need to rebuild connection, purpose, and mental toughness, both in civilian life and across our military ranks, and how his foundation, the Weight Behind the Spear Foundation, is helping lead the charge.
