摘要:The bidirectional relationship between poor mental health and the experience of poverty
and deprivation has been established in adults.

Poverty can lead to distress or act as a risk factor
for mental illnesses like anxiety and depression. On the other hand, mental disorders also cause
an enormous financial burden on individuals, their families and society. Owing to the vulnerable
and dependent position of children and adolescents, social determinants are likely to play a still
greater role in their development and mental health.
