Parents and women are among the Canadians struggling most with mental health issues during the pandemic, results from several new surveys show. The latest findings from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto — which surveyed more than 1,000 adults between Sept.18 and 22 — found around 30 per cent of parents with children under 18 still living at home report feeling depressed. That was roughly 10 per cent higher than the percentage of adults without kids who are feeling the same, the research team found.
