The great depression was a time in history when the population could not obtain money due to bankrupcy. This made it difficult for citizens to afford things such as food, healthcare etc... This was caused by the lack of funds, due to unemployment and/or lowered pay. Therefore, many weren't able to seek the proper medical treatments which lead to a spike in mortality rates.
