Highlights
The economic and social crisis that the European population has experienced since 2008 has fuelled interest in the study of its potential health impacts, especially when it comes to the more vulnerable southern countries like Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain [1,2]
Since the 1929 stock market crash in the United States, there have been different episodes of economic crises that have affected almost every continent, with diverse health consequences [3]. This one is directly affecting European countries that are included in the group of so-called developed countries and that are located in the centre of the global economic system
The exclusion of nonregularized immigrants from the public health care services should be considered as a negative consequence of the policies put in place as a result of the economic crisis [10]
Summary
The economic and social crisis that the European population has experienced since 2008 has fuelled interest in the study of its potential health impacts, especially when it comes to the more vulnerable southern countries like Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain [1,2]. Several studies have already highlighted the relationship between the economic crisis and mental health problems such as a higher frequency of episodes of anxiety and depression, as well as suicide in these countries [7,8].
