Differences in Findings Regarding Income Level, Education Level and Visible Minority Status

Written By Mental Health Research Canada

Key Findings:

  • Canadians who have lower incomes and less education are more likely to have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, depression, or other mood disorders.

  • Canadians who are covered by benefits are more likely to report diagnoses of an anxiety disorder or depression than those who are not covered. This could indicate a gap in diagnoses as those with lower incomes are less likely to have coverage.

  • Canadians who have higher incomes and higher education are more likely to report increased use of alcohol.
