Socio-economic factors and our mental health and wellbeing

Socio-economic factors play a crucial role in shaping an individual's mental wellbeing. These factors include income level, education, employment status, and access to resources. Individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to experience mental health challenges due to the lack of financial stability, limited access to healthcare services, and increased stress levels.

Research has shown that there is a strong correlation between socio-economic status and mental health outcomes. People with higher incomes and education levels tend to report lower levels of depression and anxiety compared to those with lower socio-economic status. This disparity highlights the importance of addressing socio-economic inequalities in order to improve overall mental wellbeing in society.
