Psychiatric Perspectives on Infertility: An Educational Quiz

Abstract Background: Despite its significant psychological impact, infertility has historically been seen primarily as a reproductive pathology. Couples undergoing fertility evaluation or treatment commonly experience social withdrawal, anxiety, guilt, and depression. Objective: This educational quiz uses a creative riddle-based format to highlight the psychological and psychiatric aspects of infertility. Methods: Several poetic riddles were created to represent different psychiatric conditions and psychological responses related to infertility, its assessment, and treatment. Results: Each question is associated with a behavioral manifestation, psychiatric diagnosis, or adverse drug reaction that is frequently observed in infertility treatment. Conclusion: By incorporating creativity into psychiatry education, reproductive medicine, and mental health awareness are effectively linked, promoting empathy and integrated clinical thinking.
