It is very difficult to say that Ovarian agenesis is the only sole cause of her depression and anxiety, Ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone, which play a key role in mood regulatio. Their absence can lead to low estrogen levels, which are sometimes associated with increased risk of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety.
