In my work as a psychotherapist, one of the first things I try to address with my clients is identifying any areas of their life that might be exacerbating whatever mental health issue they are experiencing. I ask them about their sleep habits, their eating habits, the health of their significant relationships, their exercise habits, significant stressors, and any medication they are prescribed. All of these facets of their life might be worsening their symptoms. For example, not getting enough quality sleep is linked to an increased risk of developing depression. One study found that individuals who struggle with insomnia are ten times more likely to develop depression and seventeen times more likely to develop anxiety.
What a person eats (or doesn’t) can also affect their mental health status. For example, an improper diet can contribute to the fatigue someone is already experiencing as a symptom of their depression. The same goes for exercise. Exercise can actually improve a person’s mood and serve as a protective barrier against some of the symptoms of depression and anxiety.
While it may not be surprising to you that many of these factors can worsen or improve a person’s symptoms of depression, one factor that is often ignored but is actually very important is whether or not that person is taking birth control. It isn’t talked about enough in the field of mental health or the medical world, but it is very important to consider because there are some studies that have found a link between depression and some forms of birth control.

It will be interesting to see any comments on this.
Get ‘em on birth control then get ‘em on Zoloft and any pharmaceutical rep can retire early.
Messing with body hormones in healthy women has to have unhealthy consequences.
I’m not surprised. Mess around with the body like that, and you’re likely to see some unintended consequences.
That’s right.
Im personally convinced that the women’s rights movement and oral contraceptives combined with public schools and the age we expose our children to it are creating and normalizing a borderline personality disorder like behavior within our society.
I think we’re only just beginning to unpack ALL the side effects — not to mention the criminal levels of negligence on the part of the medical and pharmaceutical establishments in finding better methods of addressing women’s health issues. The pill is prescribed for just about everything under the sun, not just contraception.
The Gardasil vaccine (for HPV) is another drug forced not on women, but pre-pubescent GIRLS. And is rife with all sorts of side effects.
Yes. Those are some of the reasons.
All contraception is EVIL

The self-proclaimed feminists should be the ones decrying this reality most.
hormonal abortion destroys intimacy and leaves marriages and nations in ruin.
Very true. God has turned our culture over to it’s lustful cravings. The pill permitted promiscuity to become pervasive. Hollywood also played a role in fueling the sensuous cravings of our culture. Meanwhile churches kept silent.
Could not agree more. And this is just one generation out from mass usage of oral contraceptives.
Churches embraced it and encouraged it and called it acting responsibly.
You forgot the red wine, Karen.
