Poverty, Economic Inequality and Mental Health

A new briefing has been published by the Centre for Mental Health

https://www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/publications/briefing-58-poverty-economic-inequality-and-mental-health

“Poverty, economic inequality and mental health, by Ed Davie, explores evidence about the links between these factors, showing that living in poverty increases people’s risk of mental health difficulties, and that more unequal societies have higher overall levels of mental ill health. The briefing also demonstrates that poverty and economic inequality intersect with structural racism to undermine the mental health of racialised and marginalised groups in society.”
