[0] > Why are these framed as independent factors? For many people the lack of financial stability is a primary source of depression and anxiety. Not only that: - poverty "can change your genes and increase your chances of depression" [1] - relieving poverty (by $73/mo) "significantly improves mental health" [2] - "anxiety disorders in poor moms likely to result from poverty, not mental illness" [3] Of course, not everyone agrees. Some researchers found that improving mental health led to improved financial situations (and not the other way around.) [4] Regardless of which has a larger causal effect on the other, studies continue to show the two are certainly linked, and not independent factors.
