> The report says 2.5 million people can’t get the care they need, citing a variety of reasons, from unavailability of services to the out-of-pocket costs of seeing many mental health professionals whose services aren’t publicly funded.
> It says 57 per cent of young people between 18 and 24 years old who have early signs of mental illness say they can’t afford to get services.
> The grim findings come when the need is greatest, as overall mental health across Canada is three times worse than it was before COVID-19, the report says.
Gee, it’s almost like Driving down wages with TFW’s through LMIA’s and flooding the country with more people then it can handle is destroying the entire economic well being of Canadians and they can’t even afford to get the mental help they need because they can’t get jobs because landlords want to stuff 25 people into a room and corporate employers want to pay as little as humanly possible.
Gee, how surprising is that. It’s almost like the entire system is fucking broken. I wonder why everyone’s so god damn depressed.
It’s almost impossible to get mental health care in Ontario, it’s an absolute fckn joke to be honest 👎🏻. Start paying the right people in Canada 👊🏻.
I am 54 and fucked. Hang in there.
Neoliberalism has taken our existing health care system and bit by bit, cut by cut, closure by closure handed it over to private, corporate profiteers.
A sane, healthy society would, with an appropriate sense of urgency, prioritize investment to bolster our existing system and continue to expand it to include dental, optical, prescription and mental health supports, and build out the infrastructure and incentivize training accordingly.
It’s time we remember that we are not in reality stuck in a two party system at the mercy of an oligarch-dominated duopoly, to vote accordingly, and to remind ourselves what folks understood just a few generations ago: that we won’t have nice things until our politicians are more afraid of us, the working class, than they are of the wealthy and their corporations.
When many in society can’t afford basic things like basic food and shelter, and other things like homeownership and a family become increasingly out of reach for many people, the mental health of a country really starts to suffer. Due to the cost and difficulty of receiving mental health services in a timely manner, many people end up falling through the cracks.
Throw in the aftereffects from a pandemic, and slow economic recovery for Canada, and…

Yeah no shit. Traditionally, mental illlness is the poor stepchild in healthcare.
Working day and night, climbing the ladder, saving aggressive but so far off from basic milestones like housing, kids.
Ofc the mental health is dropping.
I love paying 50% income tax for nothing.
I traded treating my mental health issues with therapy for alcoholism. Cloud 9 has been wonderful!
Of course it is, you have an entire generation of youth who look around and think how on earth they’re going to be able to afford to buy a house and live the life their parents lived. Social contract is shattered, you can go to school and do everything right and it’s still not enough.
Depressed because you can’t afford a home or kids? Sounds like you a mental health problem. Best we can do is offer you MAiD.
