Listen up women! A newly published study from the University of
Copenhagen has confirmed a link between hormonal contraceptives and
depression. The largest of its kind, with one million Danish women between
the ages of 15 and 34 tracked for a total of 13 years and they found that
taking the combined oral contraceptive were 23% more likely to be
diagnosed with depression and those using progestin-only pills (also known
as “the mini-pill”) were 34% more likely. If you are at an increased risk for
depression or suicidal thoughts/actions you need to be aware of this new
study, and take extra precautions like talking to your doctor about
contraception options and monitoring any side effects carefully.
