Reproduction and having children are of great deal in our country. Having children is seen to be a symbol of being ‘settled.’ So, the couple who cannot conceive has to go through immense stress and tension.

Depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, eating disorders all can contribute to infertility amongst male and females. These disorders are not uncommon, and it is resulting in infertility is also not uncommon.  

A person suffering from depression, anxiety or stress adopts an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Lack of exercise, insomnia, and changes in appetite can be some of the many reasons. Unhealthy practices to cope with stress such as addiction problem reduces the testosterone level amongst men. In women too, alcoholism, smoking, substance use creates imbalance in their bodily functions. Therefore, it is often suggested for a couple to have a planned pregnancy wherein they avoid taking any intoxicants that can affect pregnancy.  

Eating disorders arising out of distressed thoughts and emotions can create a problem. Mental health problems modify the functioning of endocrine glands and immune system that reduces fertility. 

Infertility is not only about not being able to conceive, but it also involves not being able to hold the pregnancy. Addiction, depression, and mental health issues amongst females after conception can lead to miscarriage.

Before planning a pregnancy, it is necessary to visit a prenatal counselor to see whether you are prepared for it. If one is suffering from mental health problems, then, they must be treated first as it would lead to infertility which would again give rise to a number of other psychological problems.  

Something which we might feel is biological or physical may have its roots in psychology. 

A small crack in the wall can turn the entire wall down, so why not fill in the crack within us before it breaks us down!
