In fact, Statistics Canada, posted on their website that “In 2022, more than 5 million people in Canada met the diagnostic criteria for a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder, with the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders increasing substantially over the previous 10 years.” https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230922/dq230922b-eng.htm
