Abortion Recovery

Post-Abortion Syndrome

Although women who choose abortion may experience immediate relief, some women can have negative emotional and psychological effects within a few months or even years later. This occurrence is called "post-abortion syndrome" (or PAS).

THE MOST COMMON SYPMTOMS OF PAS ARE:

• Guilt
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Anniversary grief
• Suicidal thoughts
• Flashbacks of the abortion
• Relationship problems
• Psychological "numbing"
• Alcohol and drug abuse
• Sexual dysfunction
• Difficulty in bonding with children
• Preoccupation with becoming pregnant again
• Eating disorders
• Self-punishing or self-degrading behavior
