In recent decades, methods for the treatment of infertility have begun to be systematically implemented. Medically assisted reproduction (IYA) is the most scientifically acceptable approach to address infertility and includes many methods used individually or complementary and differ in the degree of intervention.
There has been an increase in the use and availability of infertility therapies worldwide in the world in the last 25 years. Therefore, this demand for fertility treatment has led to the development of technologies and research aimed at optimizing IYA methods. As IVF had already been introduced in 1978, follow-up studies of children from IVF (EG) are widely available and relate to the child’s psychosocial development as well as the psychological adjustment of parents. There is, therefore, important research interest in issues related to the development of children from IVF to cognitive, emotional, behavioral and social level.
In recent years, surveys have been published by children who have come from IVF, reaching safe conclusions about their physical condition and developmental course. Behavioral problems are often identified by the development stage at which the young person is located and are distinguished in internalized and outdoors. Most of the existing studies that compared the incidence of behavioral and emotional problems in children by EG and children from physical conception have come to the conclusion that there are no significant differences between these groups by the age of 11-12. Transition to adolescence usually brings about emotional and behavioral changes to all children of all conception.
Regarding the future course and evolution of their psycho -emotional health, the results of research carried out in school children and adolescents are reassuring and encouraging as there is no form of pathology in the manifestation of their emotion and behavior.
Difficulties of behavior reported during the first year of life of children from ESA come more than mothers’ concerns about adaptation and mental health of their children rather than children’s behavior problems. Mothers usually children from being more anxious and overprotective during the first year.
In any case, however, raising mentally healthy children, in all kinds of family, depends directly on the mental abilities of parents. As mental health professionals we need to keep in mind that every form of family faces different challenges, has its own limitations and its own potential. Let us not forget that the functionality of the family is not determined by its composition and form but by the family processes and quality of relationships.
