The debt, a threat to mental health

The personal debts can have serious consequences on mental health. This is an investigation by the Coalition of Consumer Associations of Quebec. The results of the survey a hundred people are without appeal. Some 77 percent of respondents feel discouraged and want to leave everything. In addition, 30 percent of those surveyed are a link between suicidal thoughts and debt. "They no longer have the ability to repay, said Clemence Gagnon of the Coalition of Consumer Associations of Quebec. Or, if they have the ability to repay, they have to deprive of essential goods, so it creates conflicts. " The Coalition requests the Government of Quebec prohibit the solicitation and advertising for credit cards, especially among young people under 18.
