Symptoms of Post Abortion Stress Syndrome  (PASS)

The symptoms associated with Post Abortion Syndrome are similar to those of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Many women and men experience heightened feelings of depression or anxiety during the anniversary month of the abortion or around the due date of the child who was aborted. Unfortunately, many medical and mental health professionals do not recognize the painful aftermath of abortion as a legitimate condition, making it difficult for individuals to feel heard, understood, or supported.
