> I see people claiming pregnancy alters a woman's brain, miscarriages can cause postpartum depression, but then see claims that abortions do not effect the brain at all. The third I find hard to believe given the first two.
The reason a miscarriage can cause depression while an abortion usually does not is because the former is against a women's will and the other her choice. I find that quite obvious to be honest.
- Pamar 10y agoEven if the abortion is a decision by the woman I doubt it's something that has no impact on her psyche.
- discordianfish 10y agoNobody said that.
- asveikau 10y agoI am not an expert but I don't think postpartum depression happens because people consider all rational possibilities and conclude that depression is the most logical option. It happens to them because of physical changes during and after pregnancy. It's not like they can just will away those physical changes, or rationalize their way out. Kind of like how with other types of depression the sufferer can intellectually understand why there is no reason to feel the way they do - but they still do.
