Brooklyn Neusteater, CTVNews.ca StaffMore Canadians are hospitalized per day for health conditions and injuries caused by alcohol or drugs than for heart attacks and strokes combined, according to a new study.
The not-for-profit group found that this works out to approximately 400 substance-related hospitalizations daily across the country. Of hospital stays caused by substance use, 40 per cent of Canadians also had a mental health condition that CIHI said were related to factors such as income, education and housing.
The hospitalization rates for substance use are one of three indicators or areas being measured by CIHI. The other two areas are the frequency of emergency department visits for mental health conditions or addictions, and the length of extended hospital stays for individuals awaiting home-care services.
Which means mental health really should be part of our health care plan. Lots of unhappy stressed out people out there. 😔
And yet, our fake feminist prime minister still thinks that legalizing dope is a good idea.
And de Canadians are taxed on alcohol & drugs, eh ? Someone is making lots of loonies selling dem drugs & alcohol, eh ? Oh Canada ! The best country in de world !
