@the.ivf.warrior: Mental health and infertility... The statistics around mental health and infertility are startling yet not talked about enough. ▫️91% of women say fertility challenges impacted their mental health ▫️ Over 50% of women describe infertility as the most upsetting experience of their life ▫️ 65% felt they carried the emotional weight of fertility treatment alone, even while having partner support ▫️ 78% avoid social events like baby showers and weddings due to emotional stress ▫️ 76% of infertility patients experience anxiety ▫️ 56% of infertility patients experience depression ▫️ 39% of infertility patients meet the criteria for major depressive disorder ▫️ 9.4% of infertility patients report suicidal thoughts or attempts Mental health issues often go hand-in-hand with an infertility diagnosis, yet support and empathy are completely lacking. Nothing prepared me for the mental impact of infertility. There are many aspects that can contribute to a decline in mental health including having limited support, increased stress levels, relationship issues, the financial strain, navigating so many unknowns, uncertainties, and setbacks, endless grief, burnout from being stretched thin balancing work and treatments, and so many other reasons often not talked about. Prioritizing mental health and getting proper support is crucial. Today and every day, mental health should be talked about. #worldmentalhealthday Did infertility impact your mental health?
