Associations between negative COVID-19 experiences and symptoms of anxiety and depression: a study based on a representative Canadian national sample

CONCLUSION: This study provides insight into the relationship between COVID-19 and Canadians' mental health, demonstrating an increased prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms associated with COVID-19-related adversities and common prepandemic determinants of these symptoms. The findings suggest that mental health during the pandemic was primarily shaped by traditional determinants of depression and anxiety symptoms and also by negative experiences during the pandemic.PMID:38353940 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.2.03
