You can only controll for known previous conditions.

And genes could be a driving factor.

The last paragraph in the article seems to indicate that being born into low income families increases psychic health risks.

Fully agree that studies like these are pretty much useless. They are the reason we get media outlets to proclaim bullshit like "drinking 1 glass of wine everyday is good for your heart"

I could quote pieces of the article until (hopefully) you read all the bits and understand...

But can you try reading the article first?

From the study itself

unmeasured confounding (eg, adverse childhood experiences, genetic risk, parent mental health) cannot be ruled out.

That makes it useless. Until you can show a mechanism it's just an exercise in paper writing.
