I think this is correct. If we accept that stress causes or exacerbates mental health issues, and if we accept that money can reduce stress to a degree, then it makes sense that the poor will have more mental health issues, and it's one more thing that the wealthy can see that appears to be fundamentally different in outlook or resilience between themselves and the poor, confirming the narrative that it's really their exceptionalism that is responsible for their current situation, and not luck or inherited wealth.[1] Yet another differentiator that prevents empathy. 1: That's not to say there aren't exceptional people that are wealthy, just that being exceptional is not a prerequisite to being wealthy, or even becoming wealthy (but I'm sure it helps in that case).
