Ana Q

Do you think that your mental health is affected by your income?

Nowadays I have more mental health than my physical health. My physical health can stay in one place with medication and treatment but my mental health fluctuates based on family relationship, housing situation, medical conditions etc but my financial burden is the most that contributed on my mental health. Every month have to worry whether I can manage my family with the limited income and benefits. If benefits increase then that make me smile and on other hand decrease of income poses badly on my mental health.
