I Already Have Mental Health Problems. Could Abortion Make it Worse?

Abortion is a significant decision, and every woman may experience it differently. If you have concerns about your mental health while weighing your pregnancy options, it can be helpful to talk with a qualified professional. 

If you are already struggling with mental health issues, you may wonder how you might feel after an abortion. While there’s no way to predict with certainty how you’ll feel, it’s important to consider your mental health and the support available to you. 

Soundview can discuss your pregnancy options so that you can make an educated decision. Schedule a free and confidential appointment today to learn more. 

Does Abortion Impact Mental Health?

Every woman’s experience is different. Some people may experience a range of emotions after an abortion, while others may not. If you already live with depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition, consider discussing your concerns with a qualified mental health professional.

Many factors can influence how someone feels before and after a pregnancy decision, including existing mental health concerns, personal circumstances, support systems, and whether they feel pressured in their decision.

Our social workers are here to listen. If you are experiencing difficult emotions or concerns about your mental health, professional support may also help you determine what care is appropriate for you.

After confirming your pregnancy, it may be helpful to speak with a medical professional about abortion procedures, possible side effects, and any questions related to your personal health. Your mental health and overall well-being are important considerations as you make your decision.
