Article Synopsis
- Early pregnancy loss can lead to significant psychological issues, with this study aimed at examining the prevalence of depression and anxiety before and after abortion in clients.
- Conducted at Kathmandu Medical College, the observational study assessed patients using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at various points—initial visit, two weeks, and two months post-abortion.
- Results showed high levels of anxiety and moderate depression among clients post-abortion, with anxiety decreasing over time in spontaneous abortion but remaining constant in induced abortion; depression levels decreased for both types.
