Income is associated with psychological risks, study finds
A study with a three-year follow-up found that participants with a household income of less than $20,000 annually were more likely to have mood disorders compared with those whose household income was at least $70,000 annually. Researchers reported in the Archives of Psychiatry that those whose household income decreased during the study period were more likely to suffer mood and anxiety disorders and substance abuse compared with those who didn't have a decrease in income.
