Prevalence of anxiety and depression among female patients awaiting pre-implantation genetic diagnosis in a Saudi Arabian tertiary hospital
Anxiety and depression are prevalent problems among females awaiting PGD. This promotes periodic mental health assessments of individuals on the waiting list, especially those at risk, and early referrals to women's mental health services. Furthermore, these findings may be useful for family physicians and experts in women's health who wish to better understand this problem, particularly in Arab countries.
