Abstract

Aside from its physical symptoms, PCOS has a substantial influence on psychological well-being, frequently leading to increased anxiety, despair, and a lower overall quality of life. The multidimensional character of PCOS needs a comprehensive treatment strategy that addresses both the physiological and psychosocial aspects of the disorder. Psychological symptoms related to PCOS can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormone imbalances, metabolic problems, and the psychosocial stress of managing a chronic illness. The obvious signs of PCOS, such as weight gain, acne, and hirsutism, can increase body image difficulties and social anxiety, resulting in a vicious cycle of psychological discomfort. PCOS's intricacy and chronicity mean that women frequently endure continuous issues, needing therapies that provide longterm support and respite.
