Infertility is a deeply distressing condition that affects millions of women
worldwide, often accompanied by profound psychological and emotional challenges. This
review explores the psychological impact of infertility on women, including the prevalence
of anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Studies show that up to 50% of women
undergoing infertility treatments experience clinical levels of anxiety, and 25% meet the
criteria for major depression. The social stigma, marital strain, and cultural pressures
surrounding motherhood exacerbate these feelings, leaving women to grapple with guilt,
inadequacy, and failure. The review also investigates the role of psychological stress as
both a consequence and potential contributor to infertility, examining the concept of
psychogenic infertility and its related factors. Moreover, the paper highlights the
psychosomatic manifestations of stress, such as sleep disturbances and chronic pain,
which further compound the condition. The integration of psychological therapies, such as
cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR),
alongside medical treatments, is identified as crucial for addressing these psychological
burdens. This holistic approach to infertility treatment can improve both psychological
well-being and fertility outcomes.
