In order to study the incidence of depression in infertile women and comparing individual and socio-economic characteristics of depressed and undepressed infertile women who were referred to infertility center of Fatemeh Zahra (Peace upon her) of Babol in 1999, this study was conducted. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive analytic study. 310 infertile women were selected from Jan. 1998 to Aug. 1999. We used questionnaires about personal characteristics, Beck and Hamilton depressive scales to obtain data. Findings: The incidence of depression in the infertile women was 50.6% (22.6% mild, 32.2% moderate and 4.8% severe). The average age of depressed infertile women was 26±6.1 and in undepressed group 27.1±6.1 years. The frequency of the following factors among severely depressed women has been higher comparing to other groups: Being a housewife, living in rural areas, low economic status, primary infertility and having the idea of considering infertility as a major problem in their family life. The severely depressed women were of lower educational level and have improper relationship with their husbands. 1% of infertile women had a history of suicide that was only observed in the depressed group. Conclusion: This study indicates that personal characteristics in the infertile women were different. Therefore, establishing counseling centers to identify them, to treat severe and moderate depressed women especially and providing a social support are important in physical and mental health.H PashaBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticledepressionprevalenceinfertile womenMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 2, Iss 3, Pp 37-42 (2000)
