Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS)

Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS) is a term some people use to describe feelings of guilt, grief, or emotional distress following an abortion. While not officially recognized as a clinical diagnosis, individuals may experience a range of psychological responses, such as sadness, anxiety, or regret, which can vary greatly from person to person. It’s important to understand that these reactions are not universal, and many women feel relief or peace after the procedure. If someone experiences ongoing distress, seeking support from mental health professionals can help address and process these emotions effectively.
