This study used multiple cycles of the annual cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The CCHS is a national survey that examines the health status and behaviours of Canadians aged 12 and older. It employs a complex, multistage stratified cluster design, using an area and telephone sampling frame. Roughly 3% of the Canadian population is excluded from the CCHSsampling frame (institutionalized individuals, children in foster care, those living on First Nations reserves, full-t...
Sample
Both mental health CCHS cycles and all annual CCHS cycles from 2000 to 2016 were studied, except for the annual 2011 and 2012 CCHS cycles which were excluded because of the small sample size that remained after the depression module inclusion criteria was applied (resulting in unreliable prevalence estimates). Annual CCHS cycles from 2007 onward were analyzed in two-year periods (e.g., 2007 to 2008, 2009 to 2010, etc.). In each survey cycle, CCHS participants were included if they were 18-64...
Labour force status
Three past-week labour force groups were explored in the study: employed, unemployed, and not participating in the labour force. Participants were asked about their working status in the last week and whether they did anything in the past four weeks to find work. Participants were considered employed if they had or were absent from a paid job in the past week (irrespective of whether they were looking for new employment). Participants were considered unemployed if they did not have a job in t...
Table 3 highlights the participant characteristics stratified by labour force status for the 2000 to 2001, 2007 to 2008, and 2015 to 2016 CCHS cycles. Briefly, approximately 55% of employed participants and 30% of participants not participating in the labour force were men. This was consistent across cycles. In the earliest CCHScycle, approximately...
This study suggests that between the early 2000s and 2016 MDEprevalence remained relatively stable while anxiety disorder prevalence increased modestly. These trends were consistent among all labour force groups. However, all depression and anxiety indicators suggest that prevalence was lowest among employed participants and higher among unemployed...
Between the early 2000s and 2016, the prevalence of an annual MDE was approximately 5.4%, the presence of an anxiety disorder was 4.6%, and presence of an anxiety disorder and a MDE was approximately 1.2% among working-aged employed Canadians. These estimates were higher among participants who were unemployed and those not participating in the labo...

Oct 6, 2023 · ROSMARIN: The biggest trigger for anxiety today is that we are apprehensive about the occurrence of anxiety itself — the minute we feel anxious, we get upset about it and think something’s wrong with us. That internal response increases the flow of adrenaline, which in turn causes a cascade of anxiety because the perceived threat has magnified.
