Abstract

Infertility patients report high levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms, leading to a variety of challenges for the health care team. These include the impact of patient distress on nurses and physicians, patient treatment termination, and potentially lower pregnancy rates. Integrating a mental health professional into the infertility treatment team has the potential to lower distress for patients, support staff, and clinicians, leading to increased patient retention and an easier working environment.
