Between April 24 and May 1 2020, Statistics Canada collected data via an online questionnaire from approximately 46,000 Canadians on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health. Almost one-quarter of participants indicated fair or poor mental health. Over half reported that their mental health has worsened since physical distancing restrictions were implemented. Those financially affected by COVID-19 are more prone to anxiety symptoms due to difficulties in meeting financial obligations. Youth are also more likely to report worsening mental health.
