Infertility is an emotionally and psychologically taxing condition for most couples. This leads to a multitude of problems in their personal life as well as occupational life. The stress built up by infertility vents itself as outbursts, physical illness or as a change in attitude to self and others.

These problems can be effectively resolved through psychological support sessions with a counselor in like couple groups where cognitive therapy to address the problem and sharing of experiences can result in a destressed environment which is more conducive to conception. Studies in the U.S. have shown that 76% of the couples who partook in stress management sessions were able to conceive in the following year compared to the 28% who didn’t.

Supportive family and society go a long way to help these couple to respond better to treatments.
