A new survey released today shows half of Canadians who participated report their mental health has worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study by the Angus Reid Institute aims to shed light on how the economic uncertainty and social distancing measures brought on by the pandemic have affected the psychological well being of Canadians.
It says that when asked to describe their primary feelings in recent weeks, 44 per cent of respondents said they're worried, 41 per cent said they're anxious and 30 per cent said they're bored.
But a third, 34 per cent also said they're grateful.
