Integrated Behavioral Health Care in Reproductive Medicine: How and Why to Include Mental Health Professionals in Infertility Care Teams.

Despite fertility patients' reports of significant distress, few have access to integrated mental health care services. We elucidate the benefits and challenges of mental health integration in infertility practices from the perspective of both patients and providers. We outline specific models of integration, financial viability, and the first steps fertility clinics could take to improve their patients' access to these critical supports.
