With rising costs and limited access to professional support — seven in 10 Americans say their financial anxiety is at an all-time high.
A survey of 2,000 people found that 76% of respondents feel alone in their efforts to calm money-related stress.
This heightened financial pressure is taking a toll: One in five said their mental health has declined over the past year, and 40% have taken a mental health day off from work or school.
The research, conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Doctor On Demand by Included Health, found 41% experience chronic physical pain with 70% believing the quality of their mental health is directly linked to their physical health.
