THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denetteis taking a toll on the mental health of Canadian adults, according to new data released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information on Thursday.
It found more Canadians were stressed about housing and food security compared to the average among people in other high-income nations. Kennell, of the Canadian Mental Health Association, said other research suggests that the problem is actually much worse, with 29 per cent of Canadians citing “inability to pay as the main reason for not accessing mental health services,” including counselling, psychotherapy or other treatments.
“Countries in Scandinavia and throughout Europe really adopt a more holistic and comprehensive approach when delivering health care, meaning that it's all part of the public package of services delivered,” said Kennell.
