A new report suggests that debt is a significant factor in worsening people’s mental health. The report, by the British mental health charity Mind, used surveys to study the link between mental health and debt. It found that 91 percent of those with problem debt said the lack of funds had worsened their mental health. The report also showed that people who suffer from such mental health problems as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are three times more likely to be in debt due to difficulty finding or keeping employment.
