Is in vitro fertilization (IVF) associated with
perinatal affective disorders?
 Highlights

• IVF is not associated with affective symptoms
  during pregnancy and the postpartum.
• Women who resorted to IVF could have less
  perinatal depressive symptoms.
• More controlled studies are needed to draw
  definitive conclusions about this topic.

Abstract Background
Since mothers who undergo in vitro
fertilization (IVF) may experience more anxiety
and depressive symptoms than mothers who conceive
naturally, a review of the literature was
conducted to investigate whether IVF may be
considered a risk factor for the development of
anxiety or depression during pregnancy and
post-partum.
3
Methods
A thorough search of articles in Pubmed, PsycINFO
and Isi Web of Knowledge was performed in order
to produce a comprehensive review regarding the
potential association of in vitro fertilization
and anxiety/depression.
4
Results
The search resulted in a total of 10 articles.
Contradictory results were reported in the
articles about the possible association between
IVF and the occurrence of anxiety and depressive
symptoms both during pregnancy and postpartum
period. Three studies found that women who
resorted to IVF showed less anxiety and
depressive symptoms than those who conceived
naturally especially with the progression of
pregnancy and in the postpartum.
5
Limitations
Vulnerability to affective disorders of women
affected by infertility may be independent from
the outcome of IVF. Other limits are the limited
research in this area, the small sample sizes,
the heterogeneity of the tools used to assess
affective symptoms.
Conclusions
The available data indicate that IVF is not
associated with perinatal affective symptoms.
Women who resorted to IVF could have less
perinatal depressive symptoms as the result of a
positive outcome of the technique and the
satisfaction of the desire to become mothers.
Further studies are necessary in order to draw
definitive conclusions about this topic.
