<strong>It's the great paradox of our time:</strong> <a href="http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2007/09/05/the-social-sources-of-madness/" target="new">poverty makes us more susceptible to mental illness,</a> while <a href="http://briarpatchmagazine.com/2007/09/05/buying-happiness-the-depressing-reality-of-materialism/">affluence drives us to depression.</a> Exploring these topics and many more, <em>Briarpatch</em> takes a fresh and fearless look at the state of our mental health in an age of growing inequality.

Of all the notions by which our society abides, none influences our daily life more than the idea that &#8220;money buys happiness.&#8221; It is why Canadians spend an average of 8.9 hours a day working, up from 8.4 hours just 20 years ago. It is why we [...]]]></description>
