Coronavirus: 40% of Canadians struggling with mental health and addiction, Ipsos poll finds

The coronavirus pandemic has taken its toll on Canadians, with many people struggling with mental health and addiction issues, according to recent Ipsos polling.

The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found that nearly four in 10 respondents said they have faced mental health, addiction or alcohol issues in some form over the past year.

Due to job loss and social isolation, younger Canadians appear to be struggling more with the pandemic, according to Ipsos CEO Darrell Bricker.

Those under 55 years old were also more likely to say their financial situation was bad, with 14 per cent of those aged 18 to 34 and 12 per cent of those aged 35 to 54 saying their financial situation was “very bad.”
