      New research shows that women taking hormonal contraceptives—like birth control pills,patch,ring & hormonal IUDs—have up to TRIPLE the risk of SUICIDE as women who never took hormonal birth control.” But who will tell women the truth?

      I’m glad you are willing to read the research on hormonal contraceptives and depression/anxiety. There are a number of robust studies done on it but very little mainstream publicity. You might also want to check out @naturwomanhood .Our bodies are so precious, let us care for it.

      If the pill causes this severity of mood disorder, you'll need to think very carefully about whether it is safe to get pregnant (if you were planning to). That produces the same hormones but much much higher.

      I'm sure that like the pill or.other medications, women react differently to being pregnant

      Yes, the pregnancy hormones affect women differently but if the low dose that it in the Pill makes you depressed & anxious, the much higher dose occurring naturally in pregnancy is likely to be hard on you.

      Again, I'll argue pregnancy affects everyone differently. Not everyone gets anxious and depressed during pregnancy, even those with those disorders regularly. Saw the latter with two friends in fact.

      Yes, I know but this doesn't have anything to do with the point which is that if the hormones in the Pill affect an individual badly, its worth being aware that they're the same hormones as in pregnancy but much lower.

          Because many people don't realise this. They know they can't take the pill coz causes moods or migraines etc but don't realise pregnancy is like a massive dose of the pill and are not prepared for the same effects multiplied.
