Depression and anxiety are common emotional responses among infertility
patients, with research showing that they can negatively impact the
mental well-being and quality of life of individuals struggling with
infertility. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the
existing literature on depression and anxiety in infertility patients,
in order to shed light on the current state of research and identify
potential areas for future study. The majority of research on depression
and anxiety in infertility patients has been conducted in recent years,
with a growing interest in the topic. Numerous investigations have
assessed the effect of infertility treatments on patients' psychological
health, with some examinations delving into the application of cognitive
behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction as potential
methods for mitigating symptoms of depression and anxiety. Polycystic
ovary syndrome, fertility preservation of cancer patients, COVID-19
pandemic, and assisted reproductive technology are also hot spots in
this field. The findings of this bibliometric analysis highlight the
importance of addressing depression and anxiety in infertility patients,
and imply that further investigation is required to fully comprehend the
intricate connections between infertility, depression, and anxiety.
