To study peculiarities of mental disorders in women during treatment of sterility using current reproductive technologies (extracorporeal fertilization), 512 women, mean age 33,6+3,7 years and sterility duration 3,1+/-2,2 years (from 1 to 5 years) have been examined. A number of attempts to treat sterility varied from 1 to 10. In 266 (52%) patients, borderline mental disorders have been found. Anxiety and depressive disorders made up 31,2%. A significant role of stress in their manifestation and a negative influence of mental disorders on treatment outcome and possibility of remission has been revealed. The use of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy resulted in the decrease of expression of mental disorders and adequately prepared patients to the treatment thus improving its results.
