Abortion is associated with increased risk of a wide range of alterations of anxiety such as attacks and panic disorders, traumatic syndrome and agoraphobia. It also presents mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, mania and depression. It is also linked with substance abuse such as alcohol and drugs.
