space in India and this partnership is yet again a step forward to consolidate our position as a change-maker in the space. Mental health problems are common
in people with medical conditions, because of a complex interplay between psychological, physical and social factors thus Mental and physical health are

President and CEO of Medix, “Mental health is a very broad group of conditions which have a serious impact on the way they think, feel and act. We are seeing
the younger generation which is faced by increased pressures driven by various factors and often, they lack the tools to cope with these challenges in a
positive way. We aim to dissociate the stigma with mental health and encourage conversations and discussions while providing tangible and actionable tools
to overcome challenges.”
