The document discusses the emotional consequences of post-abortion and identifies several factors that can affect a woman's psychological response. It reviews three literature articles that examined how age, marital status, religion, social support, the abortion setting, and trimester of termination can influence a woman's experience. The articles found that while most women feel relief immediately after the procedure, some experience regret, depression or guilt depending on their specific circumstances. The conclusion identifies seven predictors of difficulty adjusting after an abortion such as a history of mental illness or an unsupportive partner or religious background.

While some women choose abortion due to financial constraints, family size preferences, or health reasons, it often results in both physical and emotional pain as well as potential organ damage or death. Most major religions are against abortion. Though legal in some states, abortion is a controversial option due to moral views that it constitutes ending an innocent human life.

The reviews have consistently found that legally induced abortion does not generally pose mental health risks for women, and any risks are similar to those for giving birth or are due to pre-existing mental health conditions or other circumstantial factors. While some flawed and biased studies have claimed higher risks, the highest quality studies have found few if any differences in mental health outcomes between women who had abortions and those who did not.
Perinatal Loss And Grief
This document discusses perinatal loss and grief. It begins by outlining expected learning outcomes related to defining perinatal loss, identifying types and risk factors, and describing emotional responses and the grief process. It then defines perinatal loss and describes the main types - ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal death - providing details on signs, risks, and causes. Statistics on the frequency of perinatal loss are presented. Emotional responses are discussed, as well as the grief and mourning process. Finally, potential nursing diagnoses and interventions are outlined, focusing on ineffective sexuality patterns, complicated grieving, and the importance of support.

We ARE Family: disenfranchised grief, griefwork and perinatal loss by Gayle L...British Sociological Association
This document summarizes research on online support communities for those experiencing perinatal loss (miscarriage or infant death). It finds that these communities provide validation, a sense of shared experience ("griefwork"), and help maintain authentic identities. However, digital inequities exist and offline support is still lacking. The researchers aim to further characterize these online social practices and roles to better understand their benefits and potential shortcomings.Demystifying Postpartum Depression And Anxiety For Moms And Dads

female foeticide/infanticide/Save girl child ppt by Paras Pareek
This document discusses the issue of female foeticide in India. It notes that female foeticide means killing the female fetus in the mother's womb, and has been practiced in India for ages despite women once being regarded as goddesses. The causes include poverty, gender discrimination, lack of education, traditional practices, and viewing women as a liability. It urges stopping this evil practice in the name of humanity and discusses legal initiatives and the need for education to end female infanticide.

Mujeres que sufrieron con el aborto - Priscilla Coleman
The document summarizes a qualitative study on women's experiences with abortion. It analyzed responses from 987 women who had contacted crisis pregnancy centers for post-abortion care. Many women expressed no benefits from their abortions. Commonly voiced positives included spiritual growth, involvement in pro-life efforts, and helping other women considering abortion. Common negatives included feelings of loss, existential concerns, declines in quality of life, feelings about terminating a life, regret, shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behaviors. The study provides insight into developing more sophisticated pre-and post-abortion counseling protocols for women at risk of adverse psychological outcomes.
Lily pia jessica_chris[1]
Pia is a 16-year-old who is overweight, pale, avoids eye contact, and gives brief indifferent answers. She drinks excessively, is sexually active with older men, and is pregnant for the second time but does not want her parents notified. Adolescence is traditionally considered a period of turmoil, but recent studies suggest this turmoil has been exaggerated. Pia needs counseling, to join support groups, and appointments for sexual education, nutrition advice, and to discuss her abortion options.
Abstract
The document examines the association between postpartum depression and domestic violence against women before or during pregnancy. A literature review was conducted using research databases to gather studies on women from different backgrounds. The review focused on examining populations studied and trends. Key findings show a clear positive relationship between postpartum depression and domestic violence. Promoting early screenings for domestic violence and depression in new mothers can positively impact their mental health. An accurate identification of high-risk women will be determined to promote preventive measures.

Mental disorders can affect women and men differently. Some disorders are more common in women, such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. There are also certain disorders that are unique to women. For example, some women experience symptoms of depression at times of hormone change, such as during or after pregnancy (perinatal depression), around the time of their period (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), and during menopause (perimenopause-related depression).
When it comes to other mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, research has not found sex differences in the rates at which they are diagnosed. But certain symptoms may be more common in women than men, and the course of illness can be affected by a person’s sex. Researchers are only now beginning to tease apart the various biological and psychosocial factors that may impact mental health.What are symptoms of mental disorders in women?
Women and men can develop most of the same mental disorders and conditions, but they may experience different symptoms. Some common symptoms include:
Persistent sadness or feelings of hopelessness
Misuse of alcohol, drugs, or both
Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits
Appetite and/or weight changes
Decreased energy or fatigue
Excessive fear or worry
Seeing or hearing things that are not there
Extremely high and low moods

This document summarizes a study that explored whether early sexual intercourse could impact women's reproductive health in middle adulthood. The study followed 522 females from age 14 to 43, asking about the timing of their first sexual experience and later reproductive health. It found that women who had early intercourse were more likely to have lower education, leave home earlier, have more abortions and miscarriages, and report more menstrual symptoms than those who had later first intercourse. The results suggest early sexual activity can predict certain reproductive health issues later in life.

Research Proposal
Independent variable 1: Sex
Independent variable 2: anxiety
Dependent variable: Stress
Question #1
My first independent variable (sex) and my dependent variable (stress) are related. Men and
women tend to experience stress differently. Similarly, men and women react differently to
stress.
I expect women to score higher than men on the dependent variable. Women suffer more stress
compared to men. A 2010 study discovered that women are more likely to experience an
increase in stress levels as compared to men. Women are also more likely to report emotional
and physical symptoms of stress compared to men (APA, 2012). The stress gap between men
and women is because their stress response is different. Women have a different hormonal
system that usually causes them to react more emotionally and become more fatigued.
Similarly, women are exposed to more stress-related factors since they assume several roles in
their daily life.
Question #2
My second independent variable (anxiety) is related to my dependent variable (stress). Anxiety
and stress can both cause severe physical and mental health issues, such as depression, muscle
tension, substance abuse, personality disorders, and insomia (Powell & Enright, 2015). Both are
emotions and normal responses that can become disruptive and overwhelming to day-to-day
life. They can interfere with important aspects of life, such as work, relationships,
responsibilities, and school.
An increase in anxiety can increase stress levels. Research indicates that excessive anxiety can
lead to stress-related symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, insomnia, irritability, muscle
tension, and fatigue. Individuals can manage their anxiety and stress with relaxation techniques.
This includes breathing exercises, yoga, physical activity, art therapy, meditation, and massage.

This document discusses childhood adversity and its effects. It defines adversity as a lack of positive circumstances that can be caused by physical, mental, or social losses. Common types of adversity include abuse, neglect, poverty, parental mental illness, and family violence. Experiencing multiple adversities increases negative outcomes and mental health issues. However, protective factors like strong relationships can promote resilience.

This document summarizes research on the effects of childhood sexual abuse on mental health and behaviors in adulthood. It discusses how childhood sexual abuse can lead to mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It also explores how abuse survivors are more likely to engage in risky behaviors like substance abuse, unprotected sex, and prostitution. The document examines several studies that found links between childhood abuse and poor physical health and obesity in adulthood. It suggests that early intervention and counseling for abuse survivors could help alleviate medical issues stemming from their trauma.
Depression In Women
Women are nearly twice as likely as men to experience depression. While social and biological factors both play a role, researchers have found several potential explanations for this disparity. Genetics may predispose some women to depression, especially certain genes that interact with estrogen levels. Additionally, women are more likely to engage in negative thinking patterns called "rumination" where they dwell on problems without resolving them, fueling feelings of sadness. This tendency toward rumination emerges in girls as young as 9 and is linked to higher rates of later depression. Both biological and cultural factors may contribute to women's greater propensity for rumination.

to Anxiety and Depression.
Anxiety and depression have been prevalent issues in the United States and other parts of the world since the beginning of time. Anxiety and depression, which manifest in a variety of ways, can have a negative impact on people of all ages. Despite the fact that the first person to develop an addiction has never been identified, it is a widely held belief (Freeman, 2020). It has exacted a significant toll on the younger generation in recent years, which is especially concerning given the ongoing global epidemic. Many people do not prioritize their mental health and do not believe it should be one of their primary concerns. When, in fact, one's mental health is absolutely necessary in order to complete mundane tasks like going to class or working a job. As a result of increased focus on the topic from a wide range of fields, the state of people's mental health has been elevated to the status of a critical problem in today's society. Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, a sizable minority of people continue to believe that medication is the only way to treat mental health issues, despite the fact that the vast majority of people understand the importance of mental health (Ginsburg, 2020). This essay will coherently argue the alternative solutions to anxiety and depression. In that case, getting enough sleep and maintain a stable diet are the solutions other than medication that are discussed in below paragraphs.
Despite this, a significant number of people either do not give mental health the attention it deserves or do not believe it is all that important. Some people are also responsible for contributing to the stigma associated with mental illness. A little more than half of those polled in the General Social Survey in 2020 said they would not want a member of their family or a close friend to marry, work next to, or spend the night out with someone who had a mental illness (Knowles, 2020). People who have mental health issues may be hesitant to seek help because they are afraid of the stigma that may be attached to them if they do, which is a significant issue. The findings of this 2020 survey show that many American households continue to struggle with the concept of accepting mental health issues in their loved ones.
According to a 2020 statement from Zhang, "many people believe that people with mental illnesses are aggressive and dangerous." In fact, they are more likely to be assaulted or to injure themselves than they are to cause harm to others. People suffering from mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression are less likely to seek alternative treatments and are more likely to rely on excessive medication if these stereotypes are perpetuated. I do not believe that these points of view are valid, and I believe that they are harmful to people seeking treatment. We can be thankful that there has been .
research methods paper
The document summarizes several studies that examined correlations between teen pregnancy/motherhood and depression. One study found 53.6% of teen mothers exhibited depression symptoms, and depression was associated with decreased maternal confidence and social support. Another study found factors like social isolation, maternal competence, and weight/shape concerns predicted depression levels in teen mothers. However, one Columbia University study found that for some teen mothers, pregnancy increased a sense of purpose and safety-conscious behaviors as support from mothers/grandmothers increased. The proposed study would use the Beck Depression Inventory to examine correlations between depression levels before and after pregnancy in 200 teen mothers.

Problem Statement
Several adults struggle from a variety of mental health issues (suicidal thoughts and tendencies, alcoholism, depression, and drug abusers.) A lot of those issues may stem from what took place during an adult’s childhood that stem from a variety of reasons. Some adults seek help and some refuse to seek help. The adults who do seek help come to realize that their current issues stem from when they were a child and still developing as a human. Child abuse can come in many forms, physical, mental, and sexual. Adults who have been exposed or experienced this are likely to suffer from some form of mental health issue. It is important to figure out the root of mental health issues in adults so the root can be addressed. Children need to be in a healthy environment with nothing short of love and care. Exposing children to a harsh reality is only breeding them into an adult who suffers from mental health issues.
Literature Review
The study of psychology helps researchers to understand better what is going on with a person. Researchers studied what happened in a person's life that causes them to make the decisions they do and behave in a certain way. Adults have this stigmatism that they can do whatever they want because they are "grown." Many adults suffer from something that can cause to lead towards suicidal thoughts and tendencies, alcoholism, depression, and drug abusers. A lot of those issues may stem from what took place during an adult’s childhood. There could be some reasons adults tend to display certain mental health traits that have been studied in many different forms by researchers. What we will be reviewed is the abuse, physical or mental, that an adult endured as a child and how it affects them in their adulthood.
Blanco, C., Grant, B. F., Hasin, D. S., Lin, K. H., Olfson, M. Sugaya, L. (2012) recognized that child physical abuse had been associated with an increased risk of suicide attempts. The study conducted included Blacks, Hispanics and young adults between the ages of 18-24 in 2001-2002 and 2004-2005. In person, interviews were conducted in Wave 1. In Wave 2 used similar methods as Wave 1 but it excluded the individuals who were not eligible. Wave 2 also interviews went into depth about the questions asked for the participants first 17 years of life. There are many other variables that have been added to the data that relate to childhood physical abuse and mental health distress in adult years. Those other adversatives included the history of child sexual abuse and neglect, parental psychopathology, and perceived parental support, described as emotional neglect.
The advantages to this design would be the inclusion of other childhood adversities that could contribute to adult psychiatri.

The document discusses the effects of incest on victims and their adult intimate relationships. It notes that incest often results in low self-esteem, confidence issues, and physical and mental health problems. The age at which the incest occurred can predict the severity of aftereffects, with younger victims typically experiencing more severe impacts. Victims of incest may struggle in adulthood with social and sexual relationships as well as their self-image as a result of their traumatic childhood experiences with incest.
health after abortion
The document summarizes research from "A Clinician’s Guide to Medical & Surgical Abortion" on potential negative reactions some women may experience after abortion, including depression, guilt, shame, regret, and grief. It notes researchers agree some women are more at risk, such as those who were coerced, committed to the pregnancy, or adolescents. Several studies cited found increased risks of substance abuse, depression, and suicide for women after abortion. Qualitative research found women still expressed shame about their abortions years later at menopause.

M7 A2 Domestic Violence
Domestic violence psychologically affects victims and families in several ways. It can cause health issues for victims like depression, substance abuse, and chronic illness. Witnessing domestic violence can negatively impact children's development and behavior, lowering IQs and increasing aggression and emotional problems. Exposure to domestic violence has also been linked to intergenerational cycles of abuse, with children of abuse being more likely to become future victims or abusers themselves. Treatment for abusers and support for victims is important to help break these harmful cycles.

This document discusses women's mental health after abortion based on evidence from medical literature. It summarizes findings from "A Clinician's Guide to Medical and Surgical Abortion" that some women experience negative mental health reactions after abortion like depression, guilt, shame, regret, and grief. It also discusses risk factors for poor mental health outcomes, such as prior mental illness, ambivalence about the decision, or feeling pressured. While opinions differ on how common these issues are, researchers agree that certain subgroups of women, like those with the above risk factors, are more vulnerable.
