Reproductive Rights and Women's Mental Health
Abstract
Reproductive rights, including access to comprehensive reproductive health care, are essential to the well-being of women and society. The Dobbs decision of the US Supreme Court has greatly exacerbated the confusion, the stress, and the loss of services. Psychiatrists need to know and communicate the strong scientific evidence of the advantages of sex education, contraception, abortion, and bodily autonomy and to help patients process their feelings and make informed decisions about their own care.
Keywords: Abortion; Access; Reproductive health care; Reproductive rights; Women’s health.
