Abstract

Nowadays, poverty is a common phenomenon in many developing countries, and much economic evidence has proven that the economic status of a country correlates, to some extent, with the well-being of its people. People with the lowest incomes in the community suffer from depression, anxiety, and other common mental illnesses 1.5 to 3 times more frequently than those with the highest incomes. Therefore, this article will analyse the relationship between poverty and depression through the analysis of several experiments. The experiments are conducted to study the relationship between the two and focus on different groups or aspects. Through multiple experimental readings and studies, we found that poverty can have a significant impact on an individual’s psychological state and that this impact is sustained and direct.
