Purpose <p>The Dobbs v Jackson decision in 2022 overturned decades long legal access to abortion for women across the United States. The purpose of this review is to explore the current literature regarding mental health implications of abortion restriction and policy change.</p> Recent Findings <p>The Turnaway study demonstrates that restricting access to abortion has been associated with negative mental health implications, with higher initial levels of anxiety and stress reported and more persistent symptoms of depression in women who were denied access when compared to women who were able to obtain an abortion. Recent studies have also begun to investigate both state and national trends in various mental health domains such as depression, anxiety, and suicidality in the context of evolving abortion policy. The data suggests associations between worsening mental health measures in reproductive-aged women, especially in those residing in states that have enacted more restrictive policy.</p> Summary <p>Abortion restriction is associated with negative mental health implications; psychiatrists must also be aware of changing mental health trends across the country amongst reproductive aged woman in states with restricted abortion access.</p>
