yes mental disorders can affect whether a womans reproductive system is working correctly or not...example women who are who have eating disorders their reproductive organs stop working correctly, some to the point where they lose their periods. and fertility. the same with anxiety and depression with some women their depression and anxiety result in their physically unable to have children. there is also a mental disorder called conversion disorder where a persons mental disorder (doesnt matter what the mental disorder is) shows symptoms in physical ways. one of those ways can be that their reproduction organs no longer working correctly or at all.

not to mention the short and long term affects of taking psychotropic medications. and also the brain is an amazing thing. a non pregnant woman can believe they are pregnant and show all the symptoms and a woman completely able to have children can convince their self that they are unable to have ch ildren and their bodies will comply (fictitious disorders imposed on self)

my point here in america mental disorder\mental issues are one of the first things assessed along with their physical health and past history with medications\drugs and alcohol, when a woman goes to their OB\GYN with hopes of getting pregnant.

the original poster has posted they have many different mental and physical health problems that can be very concerning when it comes to planning to have a baby and maybe why her parents do not want this for her right now.
Thanks for this!
