Prevalence of depression and anxiety in women with recurrent pregnancy loss and the associated risk factors.

RPL patients are more likely to develop depression and anxiety than women with no history of pregnancy loss. Lower education level and multiple pregnancy losses (≥ 3) appear to be two independent risk factors of depression and anxiety in women with RPL. Women with one pregnancy loss also show a significant higher level for depression and anxiety. Appropriate psychological intervention can be considered for such patients.
