Endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain is a major component of the disease that affects quality of life in women of reproductive age suffering from endometriosis. The present review summarizes current evidence upon pathophysiology and its impact on mental health. It seems that endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain is the result of chronic stress on the central nervous system as a consequence of chronic pelvic inflammation. Mental health issues may rise as a result of central nervous system derangement and further aggravate pain perception and therefore quality of life. Further properly designed studies are needed in order to elucidate the connection between mental disorders and endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain.
