The study, conducted by Dr Demid Getik, explores how mental health is related to income make-up within couples by examining the link between annual income rises for women and the number of clinical mental health diagnoses over a set period of time.
The study finds that as more women take on the breadwinner role in the household, the number of mental health related incidences also increases.
As wives begin earning more than their husbands, the probability of receiving a mental health diagnosis increases by as much as 8% for all those observed in the study, but by as much as 11% for the men.

Not because there's a shortage of consumer goods or real estate or daylight hours. Because there's a shrinking pool of gainful employment and steadily rising costs of living. These are entirely engineered problems, with low wage service sector and gig-work jobs eclipsing higher wage jobs that can sustain a household on a single income.
This study doesn't actually have the data to conclude that. It could simply be these relationships are highly correlated with people who are secure enough to know that seeking therapy is healthy.
