Idk. My birth control triggered treatment resistant depression. Possible it could have happened anyway, but I didn’t struggle with any mental health issues before that. We tried all different kinds of birth control. My doctor certainly didn’t warn me about the risks for any of them.
I wasn’t even trying to be safe for sex, I just had chronic pain. No pain meds ever offered. Just birth control suggested from early in my adolescence. When I finally eventually started birth control it didn’t fix my pain and I ended up leaving college and my life fell off the rails for years. Major depression is no joke.
