A new study finds that poverty creates anxiety in mothers.
The researchers surveyed nearly 5,000 parents and found that mothers who received free food or had a difficult time paying their utility bills were nearly 2.5 times more likely to have symptoms that would warrant a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder, compared with those who said they had no trouble paying their bills.
The "gift of a lift" is just one way we help mothers cope with the financial strains they bear.
