In Episode 13 of the It’s All Mental Podcast, host Asiat Nakawunde is joined by Ivan Muwanguzi, a clinical psychologist, to explore the deeply personal and often overlooked connection between infertility and mental health.
This episode breaks down what infertility really means, including the difference between primary and secondary infertility, and challenges the common misconception that infertility only affects women. With 1 in 6 people facing infertility, the conversation highlights how both men and women experience emotional distress, anxiety, depression, grief, and strain within relationships and marriages.
From pre-marital preparation and fertility testing to the psychological experiences before, during, and after IVF, Ivan offers insights into the emotional toll infertility can take beyond the medical procedures. The discussion also looks at how expectations around parenthood impact mental well-being, how couples can support each other through the journey, and how relationships evolve after finally welcoming a child.
This episode emphasizes the importance of seeking psychological support, fostering open communication, and approaching infertility with compassion, understanding, and resilience.
A must-listen for individuals, couples, and anyone navigating the emotional realities of fertility challenges.
