Women who started the pill as teens have 130% higher rate of depression: study

By Marc Lallanilla

Women taking oral contraceptive pills may have an increased risk of depression — especially shortly after starting on the pill.

That’s one of the findings from a large study of more than 264,000 women, which also finds that teenage girls are at the highest risk.

In fact, women who were teenagers when they began to use birth control pills had a 130% higher rate of depression.

The increased rate among adult users was 92%, according to the study authors.

“The powerful influence of contraceptive pills on teenagers can be ascribed to the hormonal changes caused by puberty,” Therese Johansson, of the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology at Uppsala University in Sweden, said in a news release.

Now, if that was due to covid, we'd have a full lockdown and mandatory universal mask usage orders in place; but because it's one of the liberals' favored poisons, it's full steam ahead, and young women be damned (same attitude towards fake-fem men taking over womens' sports).
