“…Abortion was found to be a significant predictor for depression symptoms among infertile women. This result is in agreement with the findings of Kolte et al [ 35 ], Zamani et al [ 36 ], and Adib-Rad et al [ 37 ]. Similarly, Kagami et al [ 38 ] used the Beck Depression index and found significantly higher levels of depression symptoms among women as compared with men.…”

Background. Mental disorders are expected for women suffering from infertility. Depression is a predictable consequence but requires more investigations and considerations. This study is aimed at determining the severity of depression symptoms and its predictors among infertile women in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Materials and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Three hundred eighty-five infertile women participated and were selected by convenience sampling. The participated women were selected from three large and major in vitro fertilization treatment centers (Al Helo, Al Basma, and Hindawi). A validated Arabic version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II was used. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was applied to determine potential predictors for depression symptoms, and p ≤ .05 was statistically significant. Results. The mean age of participated women was 29 ± 6.58 years, and the mean duration of marriage and infertility was 7.76 ± 5.31 and 5.43 ± 3.50 years, respectively. Half of the women had some form of depression symptoms (22.3%, 8.6%, and 10.6% showed to have mild depression, moderate, and severe depression symptoms, respectively). Predictors of depression symptoms were as follows: duration of marriage (Wald test: 10.493; CI95%: 0.248-0.774), at least one abortion (Wald test: 21.233; CI95%: 1.863–4.528), primary infertility (Wald test: 6.666; CI95%: 1.148–2.742), and husband cause of infertility (Wald test: 10.878; CI95%: 0.800–0.982). Conclusion. Infertility affects the various aspect of women’s life. Psychological intervention including counselling, support, and therapy would be necessary to limit the consequences of infertility. Such interventions could be implemented in infertility treatment clinics.

Abstract Background Psychological disorders are expected for women suffering from infertility. Depression is a predictable consequence and requires more investigations and considerations. This study aimed to determine prevalence and severity of depression and its predictors among infertile women in Gaza strip, Palestine using a cross-sectional design. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out among three hundred eighty five infertile males from Jan 2019 to Dec 2019. Participants were selected from three main In-vitro fertilization centers (IVFs) following simple random sampling. The Arabic version of Beck depression inventory was used. Logistic regression was performed to determine independent factors associated with depression. The value 0.05 or less was considered statistically significant Results The mean age of participated women was 29 ± 6.58 years, and mean duration of marriage and infertility were 7.76 ± 5.31 and 5.43 ± 3.50 years, respectively. Half of women had some form of depression (22.3%, 8.6% and 10.6% showed to have mild depression, moderate and severe depression, respectively). Predictors of depression were: duration of marriage (Wald test: 10.493; CI95%: 0.248–0.774), at least one abortion (Wald test: 21.233, CI95%: 1.863–4.528), primary infertility (Wald test: 6.666, CI95%: 1.148–2.742) and husband cause of infertility (Wald test: 10.878, CI95%: 0.800–0.982). Conclusion Infertility has an effect on the psychological aspect of women' life. Psychological intervention including counselling, support and therapy would be necessary to limit consequences of infertility. Such interventions could be implemented in infertility treatment clinics.

“…While no consensus on the most optimal EPDS cut-point for prenatal depression exists ( Alvarado-Esquivel, 2014 , Gibson et al, 2009 , Rubertsson et al, 2011 ), a score of 10 or more has been employed to indicate clinically meaningful symptoms of depression in pregnancy ( Vázquez and Míguez, 2019 ). The anxiety subscale of SCL-90 is a standard tool for measuring anxiety ( Bech et al, 2014 , Deogratis et al, 1973 ) and widely used during the prenatal period ( Adib-Rad et al, 2019 , Kamel et al, 1999 , Lin et al, 2017 , Van den Heuvel et al, 2015 ). The SCL-90 anxiety subscale consists of 10 items, each on a 5-point scale of distress (0–4) with a total score range of 0–40.…”

Highlights Assessed relation of maternal prenatal distress to amygdalae and hippocampi volumes. Newborn amygdalar volumes negatively related to maternal prenatal distress in males. No association between maternal prenatal distress and newborn hippocampal volumes. Prenatal maternal distress seems to affect newborn brain in a sex-dependent way.
