rephrase In recent years, economists have increasingly paid attention to mental health problems and their consequences, especially when occurring during adolescence and young adulthood (Biasi et al., 2019; Cuddy and Currie, 2020). Mental health problems are often first diagnosed in early adulthood and are very pervasive, in particular among young women (see Eaton et al., 2008). In 2017, about 13-19% of adolescents between 15-25 in the US experienced at least one major depressive episode (NIH, 2019). As pointed out by Currie (2020) mental health problems can reflect deficits in noncognitive skills that are crucial for human capital development and labor market outcomes in adulthood. Thus, knowing about potential determinants of mental problems is of first-order importance. One possible determinant that has often been discussed in connection with mental health problems is abortion. In the US, abortions for women aged 15-24 years account for almost 40% of all abortions in 2017 (Kortsmit et al., 2020). The joint occurrence of abortions and the onset of mental health problems in young adulthood suggests an association that has often resulted in claims of a causal relationship. In many countries, this has been used by politicians to justify restrictions on abortion access such as waiting times, mandatory disclosures, or parental consent laws (Guttmacher Institute, 2020).
