  Abortion Recovery

Abortion May Increase the Risk of Emotional Problems

Following an abortion, many women and men experience initial relief.  The perceived crisis is over and life returns to normal.  For many, however, the crisis is not really over and significant problems can develop.  Sometimes this occurs within days and sometimes it happens after many years. This psychological response is known as Post-Abortion Stress (PAS).

Several factors that increase the risk of PAS include: the woman or man's age, the abortion circumstances, the stage of pregnancy at which the abortion occurs, and religious beliefs.
Women and men who have experienced abortion may develop the following symptoms:

  • Flashbacks of Abortion

  • Sexual Dysfunction

  • Relationship Problems

  • Eating Disorders

  • Alcohol and Drug Abuse

  • Depression

  • Guilt

  • Anger

  • Anxiety

  • Suicidal Thoughts

  • Anniversary Grief

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, Care Net offers confidential, compassionate support groups designed to help women and men work through these feelings.  You are not alone.

If you wish to begin the healing process from a past abortion or abortions, abortion recovery counseling is available, free of charge. We offer individual or group counseling. Deciding to seek help may be one of the toughest decisions you have to make, but it may be one of the best.  To talk to someone about issues from a past abortion, please call us.

All calls are confidential.  (845) 471-9284.
