Summary
This completed study measured how common anxiety and depression are among 768 infertile Vietnamese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Researchers used standard questionnaires to screen for these conditions. The goal was to understand the mental health burden and identify related factors, since no prior data existed for this specific group.
