Why Infertility Affects Mental Health
The emotional strain of infertility often goes unspoken. Each month without success, every fertility treatment, and the uncertainty of the future can take a significant mental toll. Many experience a mix of emotions such as grief, anxiety, and hopelessness. Social events, family gatherings, or announcements of others’ pregnancies can also trigger feelings of isolation or inadequacy.
This emotional weight highlights the need for support systems that address mental health as a central part of the infertility journey. Whether through therapy, support groups, or simply acknowledging your feelings, prioritizing mental health is essential.
