Assessing psychological health and reproductive function: Depression, anxiety, and stress in infertile men compared to controls: A case-control study
Our study found infertile men had higher stress, anxiety, and depression than the control group. Limitations included phone-based data collection and the depression, anxiety, and stress scale 21 questionnaire's screening nature. Future studies should involve larger populations and consider economic status as a variable related to mental health.
