Özet
While multifaceted poverty affects mental well-being, poor mental health, in turn, affects productivity and income in the longer term. Despite this fact, until recently, mental health prevention has not been included in the goals of poverty alleviation programs. The literature indicates that poverty can lead to worse mental health through multiple channels of poverty in the long run. However, little is known about whether these effects are also valid in the shortterm as temporary effects, especially for developing countries. Therefore, this research examines the short- term effects of different poverty channels on depression levels of lowincome households in Kenya by using a fixed effect regression. It is found that severe health shocks lay at the core of poverty's psychological tax in the short-term with its temporary effects. Moreover, gifts and precautionary savings are actively used against income and health shocks. The results signal that there is limited credit access for low-income households in Kenya. On the other hand, low-income level and variation in income itself do not explain the monthly changes of the depression level. Also, there is no evidence for the relaxing effect of health insurance in the case of health shocks. Taken together, to reduce the mental burden of poverty in the short-term, increasing health care quality and lowering the risk of health shocks, especially infectious diseases, is paramount. Fields: Development Economics, Health Economics, Mental Health
