If you are already struggling with mental health issues, abortion could worsen these problems. Mental health effects after an abortion aren’t guaranteed, but you are at greater risk if you have pre-existing concerns.
Abortion and mental health can be a complicated topic to address. We will help you evaluate the risks of abortion and get your questions answered. You deserve the gold standard of care.
What Research Says
Currently, it has not been established that there is a clear link between abortion and adverse mental health effects. However, this does not mean that some women won’t face emotional challenges shortly after their abortion or even years later.
We know that specific factors can make it more likely for women to develop mental health effects. These factors include:
- A history of mental health problems
- Pressure from others to abort the pregnancy
- Personality factors (i.e., low self-esteem)
- History of abortion
Since abortion is associated with higher rates of mental health problems, it’s crucial to consider your personal history and learn everything you can before deciding. Pregnancy decisions have short-term and long-term implications, so you deserve the facts.
