About 14% experienced high distress, and 5% had very-high distress in the past month. Lower-income individuals were more likely to experience high psychological distress and use mental health medications. Specifically, 30% of adults in the lowest income quintile used medications, and 14% reported very-high distress, compared to 10% and 2% in the highest income group. More low-income individuals (9%) consulted a psychologist compared to high-income individuals (4%). Interaction analyses revealed that lower-income individuals who used medication or saw a psychologist exhibited up to four times higher distress than those in higher-income groups.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The findings reveal a concerning disparity when combined with other national data: individuals in the lowest income quintile face higher mental health symptoms, greater medication use, and are more likely to consult a psychologist, yet receive fewer consultations. This exploratory work deepens understanding of the complex relationship between income inequality, mental health symptoms, medications and healthcare utilisation in well-resourced countries like Australia. With mental ill-health rising globally, understanding these dynamics is crucial for designing equitable mental health policies.</p>","PeriodicalId":8589,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"48674251362049"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145039164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
