"Pill and depression: is there really a connection?"

There is ongoing research on the potential link between birth control pills and depression. Some studies have shown an increase in antidepressant use among birth control pill users, but other studies have not found a clear connection. It is recommended to consider alternative methods of contraception, such as the patch or vaginal ring, which deliver lower doses of hormones and may be better for mood stability. It may take a few cycles for periods to stop completely with these methods. Ultimately, the patch and vaginal ring may be better options for managing both contraception and mood symptoms.
