Is it possible for you to have postpartum depression after an abortion?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: But it would more likely be referred to as post abortion depression. If you have this, please seek therapy with a psychologist and check in with your obgyn to make sure that you are physically fine. If the depression is severe, start with a psychiatrist.Best wishes.

Post-Abortion: The decision to have an abortion can be tough and it can be nice to have someone to talk to or support you during this time. Be open to friends/family about it b/c it's common; 1 in 3 women will have an abortion in their lifetime. If you need professional help, look to Backline and Exhale for unbiased advice (Google them). Life's circumstances can cause depression, but abortion itself DOES not.
