“…The present study emphasizes that women with PCOS have an almost three times higher likelihood of common mental disorders as compared with those without it. This finding is corroborated by other studies that point to the high demand for mental healthcare in this population 5,11 . However, part of the scientific literature suggests the negative impact of obesity on female self-esteem as a possible explanation for such high prevalence of psychiatric disorders 6 .…”

Similarly, some drug treatments for mood disorders have been reported to be associated with such syndrome's development 11 . The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of common mental disorders in women diagnosed with PCOS as compared with paired controls without it.…”

“…Findings of a study revealed that bipolar females treated with valproate had a higher level of menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, and metabolic syndrome than females without treatment (45). This is mainly due to the medications used for treating bipolar disorder that could influence the hypothalamic-pituitarygonadal (HPG) axis and the reproductive system (46). There is no evidence to support that valproate therapy independently induces PCOS.…”

Context: One the most prevalent endocrine disorders among females of the reproductive age is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Studies have shown that a number of disorders are associated with PCOS, including depression, anxiety, impaired body image and body dissatisfaction, eating disorder, sexual dysfunction, and reduced quality of life. However, there is still a shadow of doubt regarding the etiology of these disorders in the literature. Based on a review of literature on PCOS symptoms and its disorder, it has been revealed that clinicians generally identify the physical symptoms of PCOS while the psychological aspects of PCOS have remained unexplored. The current study aimed at reviewing the psychosomatic aspects of PCOS.Evidence Acquisition: The current study aimed at reviewing the research regarding PCOS published in various databases, including Google Scholar and more specifically PubMed, ProQuest, Ovid, web of science, Science direct, magiran, scientific information database (SID), and IranMedex. The keywords used for finding relevant research articles were polycystic ovarian syndrome, mood disorders or psychological issues, psychosocial problems, borderline personality disorder or personality disorder, stress, coping styles, physical symptoms, obesity, sexual dysfunction, and quality of life. Research articles published from 1983 to 2016 with relevant topics were selected for this study. Overall, 130 articles were searched. However, after a screening procedure was carried out by the researchers based on the summary of all articles, 53 full articles were considered for this study.Results: Based on researchers' findings, 2 general categories emerged: (a) Psychosocial concerns related to PCOS (body dissatisfaction, body weight and body-image disturbances, sexual and relational functioning, femininity, fertility and sexuality concerns, health-related quality of life, stress, and coping responses); and (b) Psychiatric disorders (mood disorders, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder). Conclusions:Given the high prevalence and the serious psychiatric complications associated with PCOS in females, clinicians should pay considerable attention to this condition and ensure that patients receive adequate psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments. Additionally, it is suggested that nurses and health care providers, through providing psychosocial education and support, should improve coping strategies of females with PCOS.

“…Women with PCOS are frequently overweight and suffer from other symptoms of the metabolic syndrome, such as hyper-tension and type-2 diabetes. Approximately 10 to 57% of women with PCOS suffer from a depressive disorder and a further 25% from subclinical forms of depression (Tan et al, 2008;Kerchner et al, 2009;Rassi et al, 2010;Hart and Doherty, 2015). Moreover, 25 to 36% suffer from a bulimic syndrome (Morgan et al, 2008).…”

Approximately 5 to 10 % of women in their reproductive years are affected by infertility. Infertility in women has been associated with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, disturbed eating behavior, autism, psychotic disorders and autism. Part of the association between depression, anxiety and infertility can be explained by the emotional stress resulting from infertility. As mental disorders like depressive disorder or eating disorders are also prospectively associated with infertility, a bidirectional relationship is assumed. The paper discusses the theories about the mechanistic link between mental disorders and infertility. A special relationship may between mental disorders and the main causes of ovulatory infertility, hypothalamic amenorrhea and polycystic ovary disease. Pilot studies support the assumption that psychotherapy may constitute an important component in the treatment of infertility.
