According to a new poll released exclusively to healthing the mental health of Canadians is still a significant concern 2 years into the pandemic - via healthing_ca health
in early 2022, looked at the mental health of over 1,500 Canadian adults. It found that more than one-third of Canadian adults of all ages say their mental health is worse now than it was in February 2020, before the pandemic began. People in Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan were more likely to experience a decrease in mental health than those in Atlantic Canada, B.C., or Quebec.
Of course, mental health concerns are no surprise — especially as we continue to trudge through the remnants of COVID-19. The pandemic has exacerbated stress and anxiety for almost everyone: even those not directly impacted by illness, grief, or lost wages had to deal with fear and social isolation. And more than two years in, those worries haven’t gone away.
“I’m always reminded of something that was said to me many years ago, that psychiatry didn’t really surface until four or five years after the First World War,” says John Wright, Maru’s executive vice president. “We had a mental health system in this country that was already bearing significant pressures before the pandemic… I suspect that in the next 18 months, we’ll see more and more evidence of people needing help.
And then there were worries about what comes next. More than half of young people — 53 per cent — said they were worried about their future because the pandemic seemed “relentless.” The national average was 10 points lower, at 43 per cent.
For Canadians aged 18 to 34, though, the number is much higher: a sobering 32 per cent of young people. “The number [is] shocking,” Wright says. “I would think that coming out of an armed conflict, we might see upwards of that number.”
