The results of this study showed that most studied women experienced moderate depression, anxiety, and stress, but the percentages of very severe anxiety were more than that for depression and stress. Poor economic status was also a strong predictor of depression among subfertile women. Infection with COVID-19 increased the level of anxiety. Careful evaluation of subfertile women for mental health is recommended especially during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
