Recently, experts have found a tendency to the fact that more and more women agree to voluntarily go to an abortion, because they are very worried about their own financial situation. Doctors have found that more women are considering the option of an artificial termination of pregnancy, because they can not afford the cost of maintaining a child. Women also delay with a family establishment due to the growth of mental health problems. According to observers, the economic downturn affected the desire of women to have children and create a family.
The middle class became the most affected, as a group of 300 doctors, who conducted the study, discovered. Thus, more and more patients are asking doctors to interrupt pregnancy, because they fear for their unstable financial situation. Among all the conditions, this factor becomes decisive for many women. But some of them just want to talk to them and dissuade them. Others want to postpone the birth of a child until the situation in their family stabilizes. Of course, here we are talking only about an unplanned pregnancy.
In general, the number of abortions among women under the age of 25 has declined, but the number of abortions among more mature women has increased. The study also found other reasons why women go to an abortion. These are diseases of all kinds, and alcohol abuse, and digestive problems. And, of course, the mental problems that inevitably become a consequence of the economic crisis. People have such disorders as panic attacks, anxieties, obsessions and compulsive disorders.
