Abstract:Abstract When we speak about voluntary abortion, we usually do it from the biomedical perspective, leaving the psychological implications that this decision has for the mother. Big controversy exists about the psychiatric consequences that the abortion can generate. Given its emotional implication and the immersed feelings (relief, shame and fault), the voluntary abortion can be lived like an adverse and generating stress event. Aims: To review publications relating to abortion and subsequent mental health. Methodology: A systematic literature review (databases) of research published in scientific journals since 2009 to 2016, full- text available and in Spanish, English or Catalan. There were realized two searches and 23 articles were included in the analysis. Results: There are factors of risk which predispose to the post-abortive psychological affectation, being most emphasized the fact of having a psychological illness before to the pregnancy and abortion. While a few authors deny the relation between mental health and abortion, others defend across its studies the appearance of disorders of anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, dangerous and suicidal behaviors, among others. Conclusions: At present there are no evidences that could affirm the assumptions that underlie the practice of the abortion. Nevertheless, it is reasonable to keep on dedicating efforts to this investigation line, since there seem to be indications between voluntary abortion and psychological disorders previous to the voluntary abortion. Keywords: Voluntary abortion, mental health, psychological consequences
