On this episode of the Benefits Alliance Voice, Rob and Carolyne talk with Dr. Khush Amaria about the impacts of mental health and what data is now available that allows for a different approach. The main takeaway is how to have positive mental wellness through a proactive approach rather than treating mental illnesses once symptoms appear.
