Researchers Find Association Between Financial Strain Due to COVID-19 and Depression
Researchers have found an independent association between COVID-19-related income loss and financial strain and depression, according to the latest study from the COVID-19 Resilience Project, run by the Lifespan Brain Institute (LiBI) of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Penn Medicine.

The findings were published today in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
