The relationship between induced Abortion and mental health is an area of political controversy, though major scientific and medical expert bodies have repeatedly concluded that abortion does not result in mental health problems. Current scientific evidence, as interpreted by major medical bodies including the American Psychological Association and the U.K. Royal College of Psychiatrists and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, indicates that a single, first-trimester induced abortion poses no greater mental-health risks than carrying unwanted pregnancies to term. The evidence is less clear in situations such as repeat abortions, and late termination of pregnancy due to fetal abnormality.In 2008, the American Psychological Association concluded after a review of available evidence that induced abortion did not increase the risk of mental health problems. In December 2011, the U.K. National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health similarly concluded that first-time abortion in the first trimester does not increase the risk of mental-health problems compared with bringing the pregnancy to term. The U.K. Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists stated in a 2011 review that abortion did not increase the risk of mental-health problems in women carrying an unwanted pregnancy. A 2008 systematic review of the medical literature on abortion and mental health found that high-quality studies consistently showed few or no mental-health consequences of abortion, while poor-quality studies were more likely to report negative consequences.Despite the weight of scientific and medical opinion, some anti-abortion advocacy groups have continued to allege a link between abortion and mental-health problems. Some anti-abortion groups have used the term "post-abortion syndrome" to refer to negative psychological effects which they attribute to abortion. However, "post-abortion syndrome" is not recognized as an actual syndrome by the mainstream medical community. Medical professionals and pro-choice advocates have argued that the effort to popularize the idea of a "post-abortion syndrome" is a tactic used by anti-abortion advocates for political purposes. Some U.S. state legislatures have mandated that patients be told that abortion increases their risk of depression and suicide, despite the scientific evidence contradicting such claims. |
